Notes
An extremely beautiful piece, a true work of art covered with a thin layer of tin enamel without a porcelain coating. It is distinguished by the elegance of its form, the harmony and simplicity of its elements, as well as the elegance of its appearance despite the absence of decoration. Its beauty lies in its devoid of decoration. The piece consists of a round, flat base in the shape of a huge disc, on which rests a slightly inflated ring in its upper part. The latter ends with a long, cylindrical neck, decorated with four incised circles at the top. The ring is supported by two types of supports and a handle suspended in its middle.
