This brass jug, created in 1727 by Simon Pantin I, is a beautiful example of 18th-century craftsmanship. The jug's most striking feature is its ivory handle, a luxurious touch common in high-quality silver and metalwork of the era. The intricate, scrolled design of the handle contrasts beautifully with the polished brass body. The jug features three delicate legs and is topped with a knob made of ivory, suggesting a sophisticated purpose and a wealthy owner. The coat of arms engraved on the jug's body hints at a possible commission for a noble family, adding intrigue to this exquisite piece of decorative art.
