Container, Liquid, Heat-Insulated, British, 1943, Normandy

Genuine WWII British heat-insulated liquid container, dated 1943. This type is made up of a thick metal envelope with removable cover, and a glass lining hermetically sealed with a cork plug (capacity: about one liter). A metal handle allows the assembly to be carried without having your hands burned.

Good, used condition. The outer surface has been covered with a layer of black paint.

The present artifact comes from a significant collection built up by a Norman collector in the last thirty years.
