PARIS BETWEEN 1875 AND 1890 A silver hot water jug featuring the god of the sea: Triton. He seems to deploy a colossal force, enhanced by the chiseling of his veins, to strangle the neck of a moray eel forming a spout. Its body is finished by a double fish tail chiseled with scales forming a grip. It rests on six feet of foaming waves from which it seems to emerge.
