apothecary jars

Old drugstore containers

Apothecary jars are decorative glass or ceramic containers originally used by pharmacists to store medicines, herbs, and compounds.

They typically have wide mouths, fitted lids, and often feature labels or painted designs identifying their contents.

Now largely ornamental, they appear in home décor and window displays: A row of antique apothecary jars lined the bathroom shelf.
