Apothecary - Cantharides
Cantharides dried beetle Cantharis vesicatoria or commonly known as Spanish Fly. A homeopathic medication, it was used topically as a rubefacient, counter-irritant and vesicant or blistering agent. Taking internally it could cause sexual arousal (priapism) in the male, unfortunately it also caused kidney failure.
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 5/8" (18mm) wide.
