Description from the seller

Very fine and original antique brass liquid dispenser on a tall pedestal, dating from the early 20th century (circa 1910–1925). This type of dispenser was used in grocery stores, liquor shops, or the hospitality industry for dispensing oil, vinegar, or spirits.

On the underside there is the original label from Woninginrichting Joustra – Naauw 2 – Leeuwarden, a well-known historic antique and interior shop. This label denotes provenance and resale, not the manufacturer, which is typical for objects like this.
