Representative post-Haban jug with allegorical decoration, reminiscent of a paradise garden. Adam and Eve stand under an apple tree with a winding snake, and on the opposite side is a plowman accompanied by a musician. In the prominent place in the flower medallion is the portrait of Josip Jelačić, a Croatian ban and general in the years 1848 - 1859. He managed to unite all Croatian countries into the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia and significantly contributed to the defeat of the Hungarian uprising and the uprising in Vienna.
