Ausgestellt in Schloss Lustheim, Oberschleißheim *** spherical Teapot with eagle-shaped Spout Meissen Porcelain issued in Castle Lustheim, Oberschleissheim 1133300054Pharmacy jar (albarello). Culture: Italian, Deruta. Dimensions: Oerall (confirmed): 13 3/16 × 8 13/16 × 8 13/16 in. (33.5 × 22.4 × 22.4 cm). Maker: Probably workshop of Giacomo Mancini, "El Frate" (Italian, active ca. 1540-60). Date: dated 1573.Storage vessels were among the most frequently produced maiolica wares in late medieval and Renaissance Italy. Made in fairly standard shapes, they were designed to fit with dozens of others on a shelf, often in a pharmacy or shop. Their handles therefore tend to fit within the vessel's profile, and the cylindrical albarello type is generally narrower at the middle than at the top or bottom, making it easy to grip. Other common features include inscriptions indicating contents and flanged lips to help secure cloth or paper seals. The decoration, usually more elaborate on one side than the other, can sometimes link pieces to a known dispensary or specific workshop or artist.

Date: dated 1543.In addition to medicines and small household items, Renaissance pharmacies also sold candies, spices, and condiments, such as the pickled fruit jelly (mostarda) that once filled this jar. The decoration of this albarello includes a surprise that would be visible only when the jar was taken from the shelf and placed upon the counter: a still life on the back depicting the tools necessary for the preparation of the mostarda.
