Apothecary Jar - Absinthe Absinthe is the French word for wormwood. It's pronounced ab'- sant. Wormwood is a plant, or to be more precise, a number of plants classified within the genus Artemisia. Absinthe is an extremely high-proof herbal liquor, traditionally drunk before dinner as an aperitif, rather than, like most liqueurs, after dinner as a digestif.
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 1/2" (38mm) tall by 1 1/16" (27mm) wide across handle to spout.
