The red transfer design was registered on September 29, 1879. Jug stands 5.5 inches high and is stamped on the underside: &#8220;TRADE MARK, E.M &amp; CO. B, ITALY.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the durable earthenware seems likely to have withstood much wear and tear, somehow the handle became detached well over 100 years ago. To bring the jug back to life, a tinker created an unusual replacement handle using crimped tin and wire. By carefully attaching bands at the top and bottom, the handle was secured without drilling through the body, which might have resulted in further damage. Much thanks to the anonymous tinker who made this otherwise innocuous jug unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\"
