A Dutch delft pill jar 18th Century Circa 1720,
A rare small pill jar of dumb bell form, painted in blue with a bird cartouche inscribed 'Extr;cathol' surmounted by a large basket of fruit. Cathol; short for Catholicon, which derives from the Greek word 'Katholikon', translating to 'universal.' The contents of the jar would have held what was known as a universal remedy, (usually a purge.) The 'P' denotes that the powder could be mixed with an inert powder and mixed into pills. However, the electuary, (the mixture), would have been a treacly medicine and the usual way to consume it would have been to dip a liquorice root in and suck the mixture off. Both the electuary and pills would have had a similar laxative effect, hense, the purging effect. For details of the recipe click here. 11.5cms
