    this is my oldest apothecary jar i've found also in charity sale, it was hard to identify the period and origin but i've find one similar in german auction house who helped me to get more info....
    i just dont know what mean the FSA letters, if it mean what the jar contain, or the initials of the owner...

      The three little marks were done by the little sticks that supported the piece inside the kiln. The piece seems very old. Compliments. I think that the F is farmacia y SA probably the stuff, since there is a point between them.
