About this work

Tin jug from the bakers' guild. The foot is decorated with profiled bands. Above it, the baluster-shaped jug with inscription and a superimposed medallion with a coat of arms. The top is closed with a vaulted lid with a knob. The simple thumb rest runs via a double-hinged joint into the handle, which curls slightly outward at the bottom.
