This 19th-century French apothecary jar, made from glass with a tin lid, is labeled "Semina Lini," the Latin term for linseed or flaxseed. Historically, linseed was valued in pharmacies for its medicinal properties. It served as a demulcent, soothing irritated tissues within the body, and acted as a mild laxative for digestive health.

Externally, it was used in poultices to alleviate skin inflammations. This apothecary jar not only offers a glimpse into the pharmaceutical practices of the past but also serves as a unique decorative piece with functional historical significance, ideal for collectors or as an aesthetic addition to home decor.
