    I picked this copper jug up its quite large. Does anyone have any ideas about it. I'm thinking its a milk jug , its over 30cm tall. I've attached a few images so anyone can help me with the age. It has no makers mark on it. It has a rounded bottom which the images are below. It seems very crudely made. Any ideas on age appreciated. Thanks jug 1 (2).jpg jug 2 (1).jpg jug3.jpg jug 4.jpg jug 1 (2).jpg jug 2 (1).jpg

    looks like a tourist item rather than an antique farm item....

    It's not old, but it will look good. I'd throw some dried flowers in it and call it solved.

    I'm not so sure that it is a tourist reproduction hence why i posted photographs. I spent a while polishing it as it has been used.

    Is the side seam "dovetailed" like the bottom of the pot? This technique has been used by numerous countries in the past and present.
