Description

A Continental tin-glazed wet drug jar 19th century, decorated in the Delft style with a cartouche surmounted with peacocks, titled 'S INJUBINUS', 20.5cm. The title is probably a misspelling of S Iujubinus, the syrup of the Jujube tree. This was used to ease a sore throat and treat a cough.
