These large jars have a beautiful cream and hand-painted blue glaze. In traditional Chinese medicine, drugs alone could not cure a person’s illness and so apothecaries would use their medicines to help patients balance their vital energies, Beautifully glazed with timeless simplicity, these elegant stoneware jars would have once lined the walls of a Chinese apothecary.
