The storage of drugs and active ingredients has always been an important issue in pharmacy laboratories. During the Ottoman period, people who traded drugs outside the pharmacy did not pay attention to this issue and the drugs prepared illegally by them threatened human health. Considering the importance of this issue, pharmacists used various porcelain jars, glass flasks and wooden boxes for this purpose. Although there are records that porcelain vessels similar to European porcelain vessels were produced in Iznik at the beginning of the 16th century, it is known that the porcelain vessels, boxes, labels, tools and equipment of the pharmacies opened in Istanbul and some Anatolian cities since the mid-19th century were mostly imported from France, mostly from large companies, especially from the Pharmacie Centrale de France. In contrast, the porcelain vessels of the pharmacy of the Hamidiye Etfal Hospital in İstanbul, which opened in 1898, were made in the Imperial Porcelain Manufactory of Yildiz Palace.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the pharmacognostic evaluation of drugs (plant, animal, etc.) and active substances stored in these materials used since Ottoman period by examining them which are exhibited in the Istanbul Üniversitesi Türk Eczacılık Tarihi Müzesi (Istanbul University Turkish Pharmacy History Specialization Museum), as well as their use for therapeutic purposes, in light of the current literature, and to find out whether what was used in the past still has a place in today's treatment.
