Description from the seller
Beautiful 18th‑century tin pouring jug with shell thumbrest – Brussels – c. 1770–1800
A heavy and authentic antique tin pouring jug / measure jug, manufactured in Brussels in the second half of the 18th century (c. 1770–1800).
The jug features the characteristic elegant pear-shaped baluster form with a pronounced pouring spout and a profiled, S-shaped cast handle. The domed lid is equipped with a finely detailed shell-shaped thumbrest (coquille) and swivels smoothly on a sturdy five-piece hinge.
On the underside of the collar/base the object is richly marked with:
Banderol / ribbon text featuring the city name BRUXELLES
Crowned Brussels city coat of arms (Saint Michael slaying the dragon)
Tin engraver’s mark / crowned rose mark
Specifications:
Material: Tin (étain)
Origin: Brussels, Southern Netherlands / Belgium
Dating: Second half of the 18th century (c. 1770–1800)
Height: 24 cm
Weight: 1010 g
Condition:
In good, authentic antique condition with a fine, untouched dark tin patina. No restorations or major deformations; only the normal light signs of age and minimal irregularities appropriate to a age of approximately 230–250 years. The lid closes well and the hinge functions properly. See the photos for a precise personal impression.
