Hallmark of Jean Frédéric BORST received as master in 1731: three clovers / (I).FB. This master died in 1767
Control hallmark with the city's coat of arms.  Note here that Alsace at that time was not part of the Kingdom, the control hallmark is therefore different from that imposed by the edict of Louis XIV in 1691.

Let us recall in passing that these pitchers were the official wine measures of the Ancien Régime.
