Description
The symbol of the three reigns of nature on the pharmacy china vases in « Porcelaine de Paris ».
The use by the apothicaries of the symbol of the three reigns of nature : the snake, the palm-tree and the rocks, together with the motto « In his tribus versantur » was for them a way to illustrate their scope of competence. This symbol cannot be seen on many delft-wan, but it illustrates many china vases, made of « porcelaine de Paris » during the XIXth century. Palm-tree, snake and rocks constitute the main kind of adornment on the pots made by the various manufacturers.
