Copper Jug or Mug Age?

Hi All,
Would this be considered a jug or mug/tankard? 6 1/2"H x 4 1/4" across the top. The top is flared with no spout and I didn't think it would pour okay but it does. It is a bit grungy inside so I didn't try drinking out of it but I imagine it would be fine. Looks to have some age to it from the seam, but I could be wrong
Trying to figure out the age and where it was made, no marks on it.
any information appreciated
thanks for looking

 

Dove tail seam,still used in many countries.

 

I would think trying to drink out of that is going to result in liquid (whatever kind!) being spilled all over one's clothing...and face!!!! There just doesn't seem to be any shapely direction to keeping it directed into one's mouth.....JMHO!!!! How about maybe a 'grain scoop'???? WHERE made is out of my knowledge base.........

 

Beaker?

 

Grain measure?
Turkish?

 

Thanks for all the replies folks

I put water in it and it poured out with a nice, steady stream of water which surprised me as I thought with the flared rim it would just rush out, but as I said I didn't try drinking out of it so it might not be the same. The rim does seem rather large for a drinking vessel though, so I'll cross that off the list of possibilities

not sure about a grain measure or beaker, the examples I'm finding don't have a rim like this one

 

Oh Heck - great for a dorm party (are they allowed to do that anymore?)

 

lol, that is one big glass how can he lift it, it must be heavy?

 

from all the copper I inherited I guess 1850s to 1880s. the technique is called Schwalbenschwanznaht in German (please repeat 5 times in a row ) that is only used for artsy stuff since approximately 1960s. it translates "dovetail seam" and in some countries it was part of the final apprentice tests of boilermakers till the 1960s and beyond.

 

The handle looks like sand cast brass. There is the possibility that it is a student's shop class project - learn copper work, seams, and casting.

 

yeah of course. that's why the idiot Europeans made an apprenticeship of 4 years to make these seams watertight.

 

Did they spend the entire 4 years learning these seams? I didn't think the Europeans were that stupid.
