A jug with a single handle at the top and narrow neck. Richly decorated with stylized flowers and bouquets in cobalt blue, yellow and green. Painted in a cartouche on the front are objects and tools used by the Guild of Wheelwrights (saws, axes, chisels, a wheel and more) and the year 1783. On one side is the motif of a shepherd with a dog and herd of sheep, on the other a plowman with an ox-pulled plow. In the lower section along the circumference is the inscription: CURO.MALIK-SILNI.TRUNEK KUZIWANI WIEK.KRATI.A.ROZUM MIENI (“Strong drink to imbibe shortens life and alters mind”). Very good condition.
