Crafted in late 18th-century France, this glazed porcelain apothecary jar by Charles-Antoine Acloque features a cylindrical body adorned with intricate hand-painted decorations, showcasing colorful botanical and symbolic motifs. Its white porcelain surface is beautifully glazed, adding a lustrous finish that highlights the meticulous craftsmanship. The jar comes with a matching lid, enhancing its functionality and aesthetic appeal. Both body and lid present golden decorative lines. The maker's mark can be found on the base of the piece.

The inscription 'RAD: BUTNE' on the flask indicates its original contents or the substances it was intended to contain, providing a glimpse into its historical use in pharmacies. 'RAD' typically stands for 'Radix' meaning root in Latin. 'BUTNE' could be a shortened form of 'Butneum', 'Butnerum' or another latinized form of a plant name.

Beyond its functional purpose, this jar serves as a striking decorative piece, embodying the elegance and refinement of French Provincial style. The artistry and attention to detail make it not only a valuable addition to any collection but also a testament to the enduring legacy of late 18th-century french porcelain craftsmanship.
