Description (Brief): Drug jars often came with blank shields or cartouches. When the contents of the jars were refilled with different ingredients the apothecary would write the name of the new formula on the medallion.
Urdang attributes the containers 1991.0664.0760 through 1991.0664.0825 to the town of Hanau in the late 18th century based on the blue and purple floral design surrounding the white medallion and the initials <i>HN</i> on the bottom of many of the jars in the series. However, in a letter to museum curators dated August 1983, the pharmaceutical history scholar Wolfgang-Hagen Hein believes those without initials and those marked <i>FH</i> were made in Florsheim in the German state of Hesse just twenty-three miles southwest of Hanau.
