This tin pitcher with lid and inscription was made by the tinsmith Ricardo Álvarez who had an open workshop at San Pablo street 44. It was presented at the Regional Exhibition of Salamanca in 1907, winning the Bronze Medal.
Salamanca organized a large agricultural, livestock, and industrial fair in 1907. Everything related to agriculture and livestock was located in La Alamedilla, while the industrial section was inside the Central Food Market.
We thank the family for the donation of the pitcher, the diploma, and the bronze medal obtained in 1907.
