The body develops a masterly set of rockeries; The main one is a cartouche that emerges under a carved acanthus leaf from which an exquisite short pouring spout emerges. The artist developed the smooth central section of the body interrupted by rococo phytomorphic games that emerge from the upper wavy contour and the lower section. The circular base and broken contour, presents a band of rinceaux that is associated in its ornamentation to the main body, joined by a solid and short shaft. The handle, in the form of a curved dolphin, a classic motif in European silverware of the 18th century, gives, by its magnitude and complexity, an extraordinary enhancement to the jug, due to the extraordinary quality of its realization and the perfect balance of its proportions.
