This mochaware/yellow ware jug has certainly seen better days. It has survived almost 200 years somewhat intact but bears the scars of neglect, including cracks, chips, a worn base, and the complete loss of its original handle
It is modestly decorated with simple white and green glazed incised bands and scattered brown leaf sprigs
Jug measures 5-1/2″ tall and is marked “3A3” on the bottom. The original applied handle was repaired with tin replacement around 100 years ago
The applied handle on this intact yellow ware jug gives an idea of what my sad jug’s original handle may have looked like
