Pair of porcelain apothecary albarelos, end. XIX – pp. XX
Spectacular pair of porcelain albarelos. Albarelos were the bottles traditionally used by apothecaries to store medical liquids.
However, in addition to their functional use, they were decorated with paintings that, as in this case, simulated frames for the names of the substances they contained, with intertwined, purely ornamental plant elements, as well as golden bands. The very approach of its form goes beyond the merely functional. Currently they are also used as decorative elements or jars in which to store kitchen items.
