Made from tin glazed redware pottery and decorated with flowers &amp; scrollwork in white, blue, green, yellow, and rust glazes, it stands 8.75 inches high. I believe it was made in Rouen, France, c.1740-50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looks like this jug took a tumble quite a while ago. Rather than toss the jug out with the bathwater, it was brought to a handy metalsmith who fashioned an unusual metal spout\/collar\/ribbed handle combo. Although the appearance has been drastically altered by the metal addition, the jug is able to function again. I much prefer the look of this make-do jug over its &#8220;perfect&#8221; counterpart, but that&#8217;s just my opinion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
