A magnificent large jug made in the years 1850-60 in Paris from the highest-purity silver 950 (Minerva1), the characteristic of silver repeated three times. The pitcher is entirely gilded. On the front, there is a coat of arms of Potocki - Pilawa called "Half-three Cross", together with a Latin motto which is the motto of the family "Scutum Opponebat Scutis" - "Shield against the shield". Potocki - one of the wealthiest families of the Republic of Poland. The highest quality silver that an outstanding goldsmith can climb. The pitcher is large (for comparison, the main photo with a bottle of wine). Height 36 cm, belly diameter 13 cm, weight 1187 grams. Also visible on the bottom are the entry features of Sterling, Algiers (entry features to the countries to which Mighty traveled). A unique item, absolutely unavailable on the antiquities market. Museum facility.
