• Louter Kabouter 
• Pure Leprechaun 

Concerns jug (with stopper), and not the statue (with the two holes). In 1943 the Schiedam distiller Herman Jansen, an admirer of the adventures of Tom Poes, asked Marten Toonder, the creator of masterful illustrations, to draw a gnome that could form a worthy trademark for his jenever brand Kabouter. The result was the comic "The recipe of Pinneke Proost". The final sketches were then drawn up by Hans G. Kresse. This artist was employed by the Toonder studios and later became famous with the comic "Eric de Noorman". At the time, the jenever was known for the slogan "Just drink Kabouter". This gnome is a rare advertising object, from around 1950, color turquoise earthenware.
