Caption

Cylindrical tankard in a pewter frame, Prószków Slaski faience factory; 1763–1853. White faience painted in colors. From the front: a barefoot woman sitting under a tree with her blouse unbuttoned, revealing her breasts; her head turned right as she supports with her right hand a small child, dressed in a short T-shirt, running toward her from the left. Can be interpreted as an allegorical representation of Maternitas motherhood. The representation is painted with some freedom. Late 18th century. Silesia Province of Silesia. Vessel. Height 24.0 cm; width 15.0 cm; depth 10.5 cm., A top-down view of a round metal lid with ornate concentric ridged and scalloped patterns and a central circular knob attached to a hinged metal handle, all set against a smooth light gray background; visible colors include shades of metallic gray, dark gray, and light gray, with subtle darker shadows and a hint of off-white on the handle.
