Object Details
- Description (Brief)
- This blown clear glass drug jar has a round, white, baked enamel label flanked by green leaves. At the top is a red crown with a yellow orb, and at the bottom below the oval shield is the coat of arms for the Duchy of Saxony-Marseburg, and the house of Marseburg. The bottle is marked in red and black ELIX/VITR/MYNS.
- In The Squibb Ancient Pharmacy Catalogue George Urdang notes that this jar as well as 1991.0664.0226, were made prior to 1738, as the dukes of Saxony no longer resided in Marsebreg.
