This blown and molded bottle has a Baroque-style blue and yellow cartouche with red and black lettering. The baked enamel label reads SPIR LAVEND. The flowers and leaves of the Lavender plant were used as an aromatic and to eliminate pests. Lavender was used to cure headaches, apoplexy and loss of speech.
The European Apothecary collection contains dozens of drug jars with this same embellishment. The generic blue and yellow decoration with its stylized crown above the cartouche is similar to glass drug jars in the collection of the Deutsche Apotheken-Museum in Heidelberg.
