Antique apothecary jar that I picked up at an estate sale. Not sure if this is French or not. Has three letters (Idi) on one side and three on the other side (Sco).. there is also a date/number of 1653 on bottom. Does have a large chip on top. This probably dates to late 1800's. hope you enjoy!

Hi Mrstyndall i,ve a similar delft ware pot in blue
yours i thinking Italian but i,m no expert i believe its Maiolica and if genuine much earlier
Looks more Italian, but thats just a guess from the front. I love the heraldic almost coat of arms depiction on the front !
Thanks for the info Malkey and PhilDmorris!! If it is Majolica, how old do you think it might be?
Hi if its genuine Maiolica it could be 17th century
Majolica is mostly found victorian glaze decor etc even though it can be very early to
Wow! That would be awesome if it was that old! Is there any way to know for sure?

Vetraio, thank you very much for identifying. I had no idea. Do you by chance have a guess as to it’s age?
No idea. But that date looks too early. You never know !,!
Vetraio, thank you. Yes, I would very surprised if it was that old too :).
It is a souvenir ``ceramica`` from Florence, Tuscany, Italy.
