Tinnen kruik met deksel c. 1680s - 1690s

"Tinnen kruik met deksel" (Tin Jug with Lid), created by Dutch silversmith Wilhelmus van Heijningen circa 1680-1690s, is a fine example of pewter craftsmanship. The jug is characterized by a bulbous body, a slender neck, and a hinged lid with a thumb-lift, all cast from pewter. It stands on a simple, flared base, further emphasizing the elegant form. This type of pewter jug, once common in Dutch households, served as a practical vessel for everyday use.
