About the Puzzle: Titled "Old Dog, New Trick," this vessel is a sophisticated variation of the classic Victorian puzzle jug. The design features a perforated neck that prevents traditional pouring, requiring the user to discover a hidden "trick" involving suction and hidden channels to drink from the nozzles.
