Details
A charming antique find with wonderful French character, this 19th century French glass apothecary jar with a red tole lid is the kind of piece that brings history and personality to a room. The hand-blown glass has all the lovely imperfections that make antique glass so appealing, including soft waviness, tiny bubbles, and a rough pontil on the base. Topped with an uncommon red tole lid accented with gilt detail, this beautiful bottle has an old-world presence that feels equally at home in a French country kitchen, a library, or a collected cabinet.

Originally made as a pharmacy jar, this piece has been given a second life as a decorative treasure. The “A. Ledoux” label appears to be a later replacement, adding to its intriguing story of reuse over time. Display it alongside antique books, botanical prints, or other treasured objects where its warm patina and handmade character can be appreciated. A wonderful example of the simple, everyday antiques that bring charm, curiosity, and a sense of the past into your home.

  • Measures: 4" x 10-1/2"h.
