Talcum and Tartarum Apothecary Show Jars

Decorative Apothecary Jars
Apothecary Jars are very ornate in nature. These Jars once contained various preparations such as Talcum and Tartarum but as of the 19th century apothecary "show jars" are used only for decorations. 
These type of show jars are very common in the European pharmacies. One can always find them in Italian and English drugstores.
