Hops, a crucial ingredient in beer, are this work’s motif. The hops’ seed cones and leaves are rendered in raised and sunken relief on the body of the jug. The metal handle has a design modeled on twining hops’ tendrils. This work has the date “1894” on it; jugs of the same form but a different design with a “1900” date are also extant. This type of jug seems to have been produced over several years. (『没後120年 エミール・ガレ:憧憬のパリ』サントリー美術館、2024年)
