Description

1985? Fox and stork Aesop's fables jug. NY: Metropolitan Museum of Art. Glazed earthenware. Hand-painted. About 6" long, 4" wide, and 4½" high. $35 from dmed7 on Ebay, July, '21.

I am so happy to see an artist and a museum using FS for a household item -- and using it so successfully! The snout of the fox as spout and the neck of the stork as handle are both ingenious! The accompanying paperwork describes this "jug" as based on a sauceboat about 1770-80 in England.
