Note:
Enclosed is a copy of a document detailing the alleged provenance of this object, according to which this jug is said to have been presented by Emperor Joseph II to Emmanuel Louis Petit, a deputy of the Third Estate for Hainaut, who was sent to the Austrian court.
According to this document, it was subsequently inherited by Gervais Placide Cousin (1738–1814) and his wife Catherine Françoise Petit (1738–1807), before being passed down to their descendants through inheritance.
