Apothecary Jar - Nux Vomica
Botanical name: Strychnine, Strychnos Nux-vomica
The seeds of this Southeast Asian tree were reportedly tested by Cleopatra for her suicide. The nut is said to cure intermittent fevers and bites of venomous snakes. Historically thought of as a tincture for gastro-intestinal stimulation. Said to act best when given in the evening. Also used for the circulatory system, nervous conditions, and as a rodenticide. Also used in making homeopathic medicines
This jar is handpainted using underglazes on porcelain. The design is consistent with those found on 19th century apothecary jars. The terminology used is what would have been found on apothecary jars of the era.
Size: 1 5/8" (40mm) tall by 1/2" (12.5mm) wide
