"Imposing Jug Sterling Silver Animal Ornament - Horse Head"
Splendid and impressive coffee maker in solid silver. The ovoid body rests on its circular pedestal festooned with a row of gadroons that can be found, long, above a collar of ovals, covering its entire lower part. The rest of the body as well as the throat are united, interrupted at the shoulder, with a large frieze on a mat background. The collar is enriched with finely chiseled ovals. The independent cover is placed without any hinge, its pine cone fretel on a rich leafy terrace, finely chiseled. The blackened wooden handle fits into two discs decorated with fine rosettes, the base in a plain hood enhanced with a net. The spout or mouldboard, is flanked at its end, by a horse's head, very stylized expressing the astonishment or stupor of the animal.
