these types of drinking vessels were traditionally used for serving Aswan

5 1/8" across x 2 1/2" tall and in great vintage condition

is especially lovely--and fairly unusual in having a handle

tweezers and the like

I just love the little boy in blue and white striped jumper pouring salt on a chicken on the front of the vintage Cerebos salt tin

Sun Spots, from Austrian Journal of Popular Astronomy, 1876 Color Lithograph lidded jars these types of drinking vesselsThis striking image of sun spots as they appeared on November 3, 1868, comes from a volume of Zeitschrift fr populre Astronomi (Journal of Popular Astronomy), published by Lith Anst, Graz (Austria), c. 1876. The image itself was created by Ernest Matthey Guenet, who I have found mentions of but not much of anything about. The yellow is slightly more saturated than appears in photos; just lovely and the perfect way to get to stare directly at the sun!
