ANTIQUE FRENCH APOTHECARY JAR EXTRACT OF OPIUM MOUNTED AS LAMP

Description

JUST OUT OF AN OLD DOCTORS ESTATE I FOUND THIS GREAT AUTHENTIC FRENCH PORCELAIN APOTHECARY JAR THAT WAS MOUNTED AS A LAMP IN THE 1950'S. IT IS TRUE AND AUTHENTIC. YOU CAN SEE THE LID IS SEPERATE FROM THE BOTTOM AND NOT A CHEAP COPY. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OF THESE IDENTICAL FORMS OVER THE YEARS. THIS MUST HAVE BEEN A VERY HIGH END APOTHECARY AS THE JAR IS VERY FINELY DETAILED ALL AROUND THE LATIN INITIALS THAT STAND FOR EXTRACT OF OPIUM THAT WAS DONE BY HAND AS WELL AS THE ENTIRE DETAILED CARTOUCHE WITH DETAILED ROSES AND USE OF GOLD THAT IS NOT WORN DOWN. A HARP WILL BE INCLUDED. CORD COMES FROM BACK EDGE OF WOOD BASE. IT IS ALL ORIGINAL AND NOT REPAINTED OR TOUCHED UP AT ALL. IT MEASURES 15 INCHES HIGH TO SOCKET. BASE HAS 5 3/4 DIAMETER. JAR BODY ALONE IS 9 1/4 INCHES HIGH BY 5 DIAMETER AT LID. NO CRACKS OR REPAIRS. IT WEIGHS 4 1/2 POUNDS. BUYER TO PAY WITHIN 3 DAYS THANKS.
