专家说明

Edward Munves, Sr., brought this very unusual Charles II jug to our attention. He said it was almost unique in his long experience in the silver business. Its shape is certainly unlike anything we had seen before. We felt fortunate to be able to acquire it and have enjoyed using it for coffee at breakfast at 65th Street. - DR
