Majolica water jug or pitcher made by Onnaing in northern France.
A colorful soldier dressed in the military uniform of the Belgian army before 1914 sits on a barrel. He is calling for the reduction of military periods. His face winks with a smug smile.
It appears in the book "Pichets en Barbotine" by Maryse Bottero.
