Transformation Canister. Circa 1880. An elaborately hand-painted toleware canister is filled with millet or paper shavings, then the lid is clamped on. When the cover is removed again, a pint bottle is produced that is taller than the canister. A drink is then poured from the bottle. Height 7 ??. Expected paint wear, but good working condition. First example we have seen.
