Ceramic jar has a wonderful crackled finish that develops with age. Jar and lid have some very slight chips at the edges. Measures 2 ½” across.

Local druggists, chemists or dentist-surgeons often sold their own dental products such as tooth powder, toothache medicines and tinctures for gum disease. This was common practice amongst the most respected practitioners of the 18th and early 19th century. The earliest proprietary tooth powders were packaged in labeled paper bags, wooden containers with revenue stamps, and small ceramic pots covered with parchment or paper and tied with a string to protect the contents.  [sm]
