pottery jug

One of my most exciting finds..love history. Thanks for looking

 

Wonderful. Where did you find it?

 

Long story..but I'll try to be brief. Got to know (on line) through ebay a wonderful lady from cape cod. She was raised living around some amazing diverse people one of whom was a relative of a man who discovered one of the largest gold mines in Ontario. He was elderly and gave her a trunk full of things he had picked up years ago. This was one of the items and she allowed me to purchase it privately.
I was thrilled. There is also a flag that I will try to post later. It is the British flag that I can only assume flew at the Addison Kerr mines. The ensign is not the normal colour but is a gold colour. I would love to get some opinions on it.

 

So lucky for you. It's a great jug.

 

Very neat item, Ruedi. And a very nice story to go with it!
