Description

A rounded jug with a short neck, a spout shaped like a bird's head with a painted eye, and a strap handle at the back. The pale body carries a large dark bird with a long neck, striped wing and fanned tail, beside a stylised flower on a stem. A number label is painted low on the body, and the jug stands on a plain grey backdrop.
