1940-50s. Very unusual milk jug from this very reputable and inventive factory. Green with a black handle. Chrome steel lid and hinge with a marvellous metal ball counterbalance that closes lid! Black and white band decorations around top, birds and flowers. A tiny amount of marks on metal lid, and four tiny pecks off of black handle.  Otherwise a rare fine piece. Nice crisp backstamp. Butter dish is a multi coloured, busy floral pattern, undamaged apart from a scrape on corner of dish. Photo 14. Two nice pieces of Maling, that will enhance your collection. Sent in bombproof packaging. Thanks.
