[QUOTE="UncleChuckTX, post: 282600, member: 154"]I agree, Don. I had a heck of a time rinsing these out. You tilt them, thinking the water will run out the spout, but instead it just goes everywhere. I did find a couple called honey jugs / honey pitchers. But I also stumbled across an entry at the Kansas Historical Society which has a Dryden example it calls an "ivy vase". That doesn't quite make sense either. Perhaps I'll come across a photo of one being used for ivy.

The other thing I wonder is if the hollow handles and openings in the handles are intended for a certain use, or just incidental from the mold / a way to save clay and reduce production costs / a way to keep the clay thin so it fires evenly, etc.[/QUOTE]
