Extremely rare to find, The sick duck is a small container that takes its name from its most common form: the silhouette of a duck. This clever mini jug has the particularity of not spilling the liquid it contains because it has a fixed half cover. This ancient hospital accessory was used to drink soup, soup, syrup, potion, decoction or any other medicine in liquid form to a person lying down, who could not use a glass or a bowl. Today, it is used to water small pots of aromatic plants or miniature cacti. You can also make a pretty original decoration & explain to your guests the old anecdotal use of this charming & elegant accessory with which you delicately sprinkle your little pots of mint & basil in the kitchen.
