English Delftware Apothecary Jars and Their Contents
Professor Victor Hoffbrand's collection of English Delftware apothecary jars, displayed at the Royal College of Physicians in London, is the second largest such collection in the world. Built up over 40 years, it contains just under 200 jars, many unique, with examples of all the most frequently used designs. Their dates span from 1640, in the reign of Charles I before the English Civil War, to 1780, George III and the American Declaration of Independence. For those interested in ceramics or the history of plant-based medicine, this is a source book of unparalleled interest and authority, complete with bibliographies, biographies, and glossaries of technical terms and 'materia medica'.

This beautiful book contains the first ever comprehensive survey and catalog of the collection of English Delftware drug jars held in the Museum of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain. The book also includes details of tin-glazed barbers' bowls, pill tiles and posset pots in the collections. Delftware drug jars were originally manufactured in London around 1570. They were expensive highly prized objects, used by successful apothecaries for storage of pills, ointments, syrups, oils and confections. They were often highly decorated or labeled to indicate their contents. Today, English Delftware drug jars are rare and highly collectable. The Museum of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain holds one of the finest collections of Delftware drug jars in the UK, photographed and cataloged for the first time in this publication.

The Apothecary's Daughter
Lillian Haswell, brilliant daughter of the local apothecary, yearns for more adventure and experience than life in her father's shop and their small village provides. She also longs to know the truth behind her mother's disappearance, which villagers whisper about but her father refuses to discuss. Opportunity comes when a distant aunt offers to educate her as a lady in London. Exposed to fashionable society and romance--as well as clues about her mother--Lilly is torn when she is summoned back to her ailing father's bedside. Women are forbidden to work as apothecaries, so to save the family legacy, Lilly will have to make it appear as if her father is still making all the diagnoses and decisions. But the suspicious eyes of a scholarly physician and a competing apothecary are upon her. As they vie for village prominence, three men also vie for Lilly's heart.
