Covered Vessel

14th–15th century
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 307
The legs on this vessel resemble those on contemporary cooking pots, suggesting that this sturdy jug was used both for heating and for serving. The area around Dinant was renowned for such domestic brasswork, which was then exported throughout Northern Europe.
