Earthenware ointment jars were once common containers for storing ointments, creams, and other apothecary products. They were usually made of fired clay and glazed to better protect the contents from moisture and spoilage.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, these jars were often used and had a simple shape with a loose lid, while others were sealed with parchment or wax to extend their shelf life.
French and English ointment jars were sometimes provided with decorations, stamps or inscriptions indicating the name of the pharmacy or the contents.
