This blue and white pitcher with a yellow rim and handle features the text "Bevi Poco" (Italian for 'Drink Little') painted on the front. In the text Proverbs, Maxims and Phrases of All Ages compiled by Robert Christy, the author mentions an Italian proverb that reads: "Bevi poco, mangia assai - dormi in alto e viverai."
