{"product_id":"embossed-brass-coal-jug","title":"Embossed Brass Coal Jug","description":"\u003cp\u003eA handsome vintage embossed brass fireside jug, made in England, with a tall tapering body, a generous flared pouring spout and a striking angular handle. The body is richly embossed with an old tavern scene of figures seated together at an inn, in the style of Dutch and Flemish genre painting, and the warm brass catches the light beautifully in the deep relief. Traditionally used beside the hearth for coal, kindling or ash, it makes a lovely decorative piece today: on a mantelpiece, by a log burner, filled with dried flowers or long matches, or as part of a collection of English brassware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItem: Embossed brass fireside jug \/ pitcher (coal or kindling jug)\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Brass\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: Made in England (stamped inside the base)\u003cbr\u003eDecoration: Embossed tavern scene with seated figures, banded base\u003cbr\u003eHeight: Approx. 29 cm \/ 11.4\"\u003cbr\u003eBase diameter: Approx. 12 cm \/ 4.7\"\u003cbr\u003ePeriod: Vintage, mid-20th century\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood vintage condition.
