About this work
Small baluster-shaped tin jug. The neck ends in a wide rim, which curves outward at the front into a pouring spout. The angularly curved handle runs from the thickest point of the belly to the upper rim of the jug. The flat lid is decorated with three engraved circles with a dot in the center. On the spout side the lid is angular. The other half is round and has a thumb rest with two horizontal grooves.
