AN ENGLISH DELFT DATED POLYCHROME DRUG-JAR of typical shape, painted in blue, green and iron-red, named THER:ANDR: within an extended scroll cartouche with central shell,  flanked by winged putti, supported by a winged mask between swags of flowers above the initials and date I:P.1723 The jar was made to contain 'Theriaca Andromachi', a theriac (or polypharmaceutical preparation) made according to the formula of Andromachus, a Roman physician of the first century AD See an example named for different contents, with the same initials and date as the present example from the collection of Dr. A. Murray, sold Sotheby's, London, 21 July 1970, lot 188. This appears to be virtually identical in shape and decoration and would suggest that two sets of this type exist. See also Bryony Hudson (ed.), English Delftware Drug Jars, London, 2006, p. 197, cat. no. 164 for a drug-jar from the same set named for 'O:HYPERIC/I:P/1723', previously in the Howard and Gautier Collections. Hudson suggests that the initials IP may refer to James Piston who became Upper Warden of the Society of Apothecaries in 1722 and Master in 1723.  Also see nearly identical jar in Christie's sale 25 May 2011, lot 162, Syd Levethan The Longridge collection Condition Report:Available upon request

The collectors Maurice de Ramaix (1850-1918) (link available on our website), a Belgian diplomat and politician, and his son Gaston built a collection of mostly blue and white pieces from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. De Ramaix was a diplomatic attache in Paris, Constantinople, Vienna, Berlin, The Hague and Persia. Afterward, he returned to Belgium where he became a senator and a member of the Parliament. In 1894, he bought and restored a castle in Grune, Belgium. After his death, De Ramaix’s collection was passed to his eldest son, Gaston (1878-1937), who was also a diplomat. Gaston had a predilection for the Dutch Golden Age and completed his father’s collection. He showcased the remarkable assemblage of Delftware in his seventeenth-century castle surrounded by Dutch paintings and prints from the same era.Condition reports and additional images:The absence of a condition report does not imply that a lot is in perfect condition.
