About

French porcelain apothecary urn with colorful hand-painted decor and inscription "UNG:CITRIN:", which refers to storing  in this  jar medicine, so called "Unguentum Citrinum" or "Unguentum Citrine", an ointment or salve with citron or lemon as an ingredient.

In the pre-industrial era, handcrafted porcelain canneries were used to store important formulas. These canneries were beautifully painted with colorful patterns and decorations, serving both as functional storage containers and decorative elements in apothecaries.
