Distinctive FeaturesThis type has an everted collar rim with oval handles which have a fairly deep vertical groove. It has a cylindrical body and solid conical spike longer than the traditional Haltern 70 (Martin-Kilcher, 1994; Sealey, 2003). The main difference with regards to the traditional Haltern 70 is a longer rim, which resembles a trumpet (Carreras Monfort et al., 2005).See characteristics | ||
