Chic rare antique English snow-white porcelain milkman jug millipede. A beautiful rarely seen form. Everything in it is perfect - the beautiful relief curve of the neck, the exquisite shape of the handle, the pot-bellied body and wonderful gilded legs. And what wonderful lilac scales on the outer bend of the handle. The milkman is decorated with beautiful Chinese dragons of delicate lavender color, in accordance with the era of Europe's fascination with Asian culture and art. It is amazing how all the curves and relief of the milkman repeat the curves and relief of the dragons in the drawing. A wonderful option for use and collection. Ideal for serving cream, milk. It goes well with any tableware in blue, light blue, lilac, yellow, white colors.
