Napoleon (1769 – 1821) stood only 5 feet 2 inches tall, but he was a military genius who amassed an empire that covered most of western and central Europe. Josephine (1763 – 1814) married him in 1796, after her first husband, the Vicomte de Beauharnais, was killed during the French Revolution. Unable to produce and heir, Napoleon divorced Josephine in 1809 to marry a younger woman. This jug was issued in 1986 in limited edition of 9,500 pieces.
