From the collection of Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Free to download, adapt and use — no permission needed.
The object, cast in one piece, has a casting seam on the outside in the middle between the ears. The broad round body, almost flat at the bottom, has two decorative rings (ribs). The straight, slanted neck, directed outwards, forms an obtuse angle with the belly wall on the outside. The straight, outwardly thickened upper part of the neck takes the place of the rim. The pot stands on three stylized claw feet, one of which is placed under an ear. The round ears, which form an obtuse angle, are placed in line with each other on the belly and against the upper part of the neck. The wrought iron handle is twisted towards the opposite attachments and is slightly widened in the middle. To the right of one of the ears is a founder's mark in the form of an A.
