Beautiful heavy solid bronze table bell.
On top of the bell is the image of the pitcher. Well-known phenomenon in Tilburg.
The use of the name Kruikenzeiker stems from the use of urine in some processing of the wool. In the past, urine was used in fulling, washing and dyeing. This happened not only in Tilburg, but everywhere where sheets or woolen fabrics were manufactured. Workers who came to hand in their urine were paid for it. The urine was taken to the factory in jars. This is how the name Kruikenzeiker was born.
The Kruikenzeiker can still be found in the daily streets of Tilburg. In 1986 the Tilburg Carnival Foundation offered the city a 70 centimeter bronze Kruikenzeiker statue. The figurine was portrayed in 1965 after a worker of the shoe factory (!) Nard de Beer. It is permanently placed at the transition from Heuvelstraat to Nieuwlandstraat, the so-called Radiopleintje.
