Kettle

The pear-shaped jug, with a removable lid, has three high legs resting on rosewood blocks, a tap, and a C-shaped handle of water buffalo horn opposite it. The cast legs are shaped like a branch with a flower and end in a foot. The body is torqued; the ribs describe an S-shaped curve that continues over the lid. Along the top of the body runs a multi-profiled rim, along the bottom of the lid a single profile; there the curve is interrupted. Along the belly between the legs, along the top edge of the pot, and around the lid knob, which is shaped like a rose branch, run foam borders. Against the foam border on the front of the belly is the cast tap. It is composed of a cylindrical part with a foam-crown-like attachment, a part in which the rotating tap fits, and a faceted part that at the end, where it bends downward, is surrounded by a leaf volute. The handle of the tap is an asymmetrical, open cartouche built from leaf volutes.
