Vintage French Fructines-Vichy Medicinal Tin Early 20th Century

SKU: ODS1091

Step back into the elegant world of early 20th-century French pharmacy with this beautifully preserved Fructines-Vichy medicinal tin. Produced by the renowned Parisian laboratory A. Pointet, this charming tin once held “bonbons purgatifs” — laxative pastilles designed to ease digestive complaints in a stylishly discreet form.

The design is classic Belle Époque to early Art Deco, with striking red and cream lithography, ornate fonts, and detailed French text extolling the therapeutic virtues of the Vichy-inspired formula. The name "Vichy" refers to the famous French spa town known for its health-giving mineral waters, aligning the product with notions of natural wellness and refined living.

This compact tin would have been carried in a handbag or pocket, offering a fashionable yet functional remedy on the go. Today, it makes a wonderful collectible for lovers of vintage French packaging, medical ephemera, or early pharmaceutical history.

Great item, was a glass jar with contents, well packaged, with a fragile label attached, arrived no problems. A near perfect example of a 50s/60s Hopkin and Williams chemical bottle. The postage was fair, the item was as described and a good value, especially with contents.

I am absolutely delighted with this item. It arrived by post quicker than I expected. It was very well packaged up and I will add it to my ever growing collection..I spent quite a while deciding whether to add this [item] to it. it is exactly as you described.

Understanding silver doesn’t require a degree in metallurgy. With a little knowledge of hallmarks and materials, you can quickly determine whether an item is decorative, collectible, or intrinsically valuable.

A Collector’s Guide to Hallmarks, Value & Spotting White Metal

Silver has been treasured for centuries. From Georgian tea services to Art Deco cigarette cases, antique silver pieces continue to attract collectors, decorators, and investors alike.

But if you’ve ever picked up a silver item at a market or auction, you may have wondered:

Is it solid silver or plated?

Does it have a hallmark?

How do you calculate the value?

Understanding silver doesn’t require a degree in metallurgy. With a little knowledge of hallmarks and materials, you can quickly determine whether an item is decorative, collectible, or intrinsically valuable.

Let’s explore how.
