Description from the seller

A pair of small silver milk jugs produced by the Posen firm, one of the Jewish-owned manufacturing houses operating in Germany in the years before World War II. Each jug is formed in a classic rounded body with a rounded handle and sits on a flat base; the two pieces are uniform in form and proportion, indicating they were produced as a matched pair. The underside of each jug bears a German standard silver assay stamp and the maker's stamp, providing attribution and confirming the silver content.

Combined weight is 56 g;
Individual dimensions are approximately 7 cm high by 4 cm wide by 3 cm deep.

Condition is Very Good: both pieces are well preserved and display only light surface wear consistent with age and careful use; no cracks, repairs, or restorations are present. The historical context of these jugs, produced by a Jewish-owned firm in Germany during the interwar period, gives them particular interest for collectors of German silver and pre-war Jewish craft history.
