Silver jug

Description

The basic shape and also the knob of this modern-looking pot correspond to the exhibited filter coffee pot by the same goldsmith, but without the filter. However, the lid is not loose here, but attached to the top of the pot with a hinge. Burckhardt probably made this pot intended for tea together with the filter coffee pot.
