The Apothecary Table Lamp is hand painted by artist Sophie Coryndon in her Sussex studio. The design is inspired by Moorish earthenware jars known as Albarelli. These jars were used to hold ointments, medicines and even gunpowder and became popular in Italian apothecaries in the 15th century. To differentiate their contents the jars were painted with individual designs which Sophie references in the artwork of each lamp.
Each of the 6 designs is limited to an edition of 30 with names which allude to their original medicinal contents.
Named for the charming plant vinca, or periwinkle, which creeps along the ground with abundant greenery and pretty blue flowers, this design features bold stylised flowerheads dancing amid intricate foliage. Many uses might have been found for the periwinkle in the centuries when albarello jars were found on apothecaries shelves, from love potions to defences against demoniacal possession.
