Fabriano (Italy): "The Mazzolini Giuseppucci Pharmacy"  
The vases

The pharmacy shelves still contain the original fittings, including some 90 porcelain jars, many of which bear the mark of the Ginori di Doccia workshop, which dates them back to the latter part of the 19th century. Ten jars are mounted on feet and have pod motifs on their bodies and lids. The remaining jars are cylindrical with lids and come in four different sizes.  All of the vases have gold edging and scrolls in red and gold with black lettering. There are approximately 230 glass bottles of varying sizes, shapes and colours. Most have gold edging and red and gold labels with black lettering on a white background. Last but not least are around 40 special medicine packages that date back to the first decades of this century, an assortment of laboratory instruments.
