Age of pottery jug- help please

Hi all,any thoughts on the age and origin of the jug. For interest sake this is what the internet had to say (but we all know how that can go)

This is likely an antique glazed redware jug, possibly dating to the early to mid-19th century. Similar items found in auctions have been identified as Chinese amber glaze earthenware pottery jars from the Tang Dynasty or American/European redware jugs.

It’s about 11cm wide in the centre and stands 15cm tall. Personally I thought it might be antique but wasn’t completely sure. Thanks for any help.

Again just for intrest sake. This very similar looking jug was listed as a: Northern Wei Dynasty Brown
Glazed Jar. Again not sure if the description is even close to being correct. Sounds quite unbelievable.

 

Or a jug or flask possibly American from the early 19th century? Anyway I don’t know. Please let me know what you think.

 

seems to never have been used........ but still an interesting design..

Good luck !!

 

Appreciate the reply. Really not sure what to think of it. Thanks

 

Sorry, I got nuttin'. It does look like some sort of utilitarian ware, so could be really old, or not all that old. Interesting neck and top shape.

 

Well,thank you for the valued reply. Glad you at least find it interesting. Will do some more searching..

Hi AJ,do you think there’s any possibility that this could be Chinese in origin? Have you perhaps see something similar before? Many thanks

 

The shape could be Korean, maybe a replica of a Goryeo Dynasty jug. But the spots in the clay look more European to me.

 

Great,thank you for replying and for your much knowledgeable opinion. I will have a look into European pottery. Also interesting about the possible replica aspect

 

I didn't really help.

 

Sure you did,with the amount of knowledge you have a potential lead is worthwhile looking into
