How to Decorate a Dining Room Table With Apothecary Jars

"Apothecary" is a term that dates all the way back to medieval Europe, and it refers to a person who acted as a primitive pharmacist. An apothecary would prepare drugs, medicine and other potions for the health and benefit of clients and customers. Nowadays modern apothecaries sell a range of health food and cosmetic products. Apothecary jars refer to the iconic jars of various shapes and sizes that were typically found around old-fashioned apothecaries. There's no reason why you can't use them on your dining room table as unique decor.
