Luckily for the jug and its owner, a tinker made a metal replacement handle and bolted it to the jug. To help mask the repair, the new handle was painted blue and white to match the existing decoration. Curiously, a hole on the side was filled with lead, much like a cavity in a tooth. Not the most elegant repair job I have seen but it certainly does the trick.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/?attachment_id=12498\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12498\"><img
