Pharmacy jar 1722

This 1722 ceramic jar, produced by the Dubois Manufactory, is a striking example of blue and white Delftware. Its distinctive bulbous shape, elaborate floral designs, and a heraldic crest mark this jar as a product of the highly decorative style popular in the Netherlands during the 18th century. The jar, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, showcases the craftsmanship and artistry of the Dubois Manufactory, known for their intricate patterns and vibrant cobalt blue glazes.
