APOTHECARY FOUNTAIN
HYSTORY:
These amazing Apothecary Fountains were a really good advertisment
for the pharma cists of the 18th century. Every morning at the
opening hour, the youngest pharmacist assistant had to prepar a warm
infusion of Thymus, known to have an extraordinary natural vertue to
ill the respiratory system when we get cold in winter. |
|
Most of the time this
infusion was free for the people passing by the pharmacy. This free
Apothecary service became a popular custom . Today we could find this
fountains considered as great piece of art and beautiful item of
decoration. The decoration are symbolizing the naturalism with pretty
lanscape sceneries representing wild animals or paradisiac scenes.
Certainly realized by talented commissioned master potters. Every set
is considered as a very exclusive piece of art that we are glad to
propose today . |
