I had not seen a repair\u00a0quite like it before, woven, I believe, by a basket maker. Flash forward about 20 years when I was notified by\u00a0one of my favorite dealers in the UK who offered me another\u00a0jug with a similar woven handle. The photo he sent did not show the scale, so I had no idea what size\u00a0the jug was. When an oversized parcel\u00a0arrived a couple of weeks later, I unpacked what turned out to be a HUGE jug.<\/p>\n<p>This Dutch shape pottery jug with blue and white transfer decoration and woven rattan replacement handle was made in England in the first quarter of the 1800s. Measuring 9.25 inches high and 12.5 inches wide from lip to handle, it\u00a0is marked &#8220;Lasso&#8221; on the underside. It must\u00a0have been much loved over the past 200 years, as is evident by the unusual replacement handle and large hole worn away on the bottom. Although unable to hold liquids today, this impressive jug and ultimate survivor still commands respect merely by sitting quietly on a shelf in my home.<\/p>\n<p><a
