FAQs

Delft drug jars are tin-glazed earthenware vessels produced in the Netherlands during the 17th and 18th centuries, historically used by apothecaries to store dry or liquid medicines, herbs, and ointments.

These pieces are crafted from buff earthenware clay, coated with an opaque white tin glaze that provides a canvas for hand-painted cobalt blue pigments, followed by a clear lead glaze firing.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit signs of age such as crazing, glaze chipping along high-wear edges, slight kiln imperfections, hand-painted brushwork with varying pigment depth, and unglazed foot rims.

These ceramic vessels can be displayed as standalone decorative objects on open shelving, mantelpieces, or as unique receptacles for dried botanicals within traditional or transitional interiors.

To preserve the fragile tin glaze and prevent further crazing or staining, keep these items away from direct moisture, avoid immersion in water, and dust gently with a soft, dry cloth.
