Burial society pitcher

A container for drinks served during the annual banquet of the burial society, having the same purpose as the burial society pint mug. Usually, it is made of stoneware and has identificatory inscriptions and painted depictions of burial society activities on the front. Sometimes, it has a metal lid with sculpted decoration. There is a relatively broad range of sizes, the average height being between 20 and 40 centimetres.
