Comments

The small pitcher, painted black, has a tapered body, strap handle, with a spout opposite.  The conforming hinged lid it slightly domed. The strap handle is soldered to the bottom; the lid tab slides through a slot at the top of the body to become the lid hinge.  The end of the strap forms a thumbpiece.  Evidence of a narrow painted band remains near the bottom of the body.
