    Hi and welcome! That is a very old Delft or delftware jug. I'm not sure how much you already know about it but it's tin-glazed earthenware with a hand painted Chinoiserie (Chinese like) pattern.

    I'm not a expert but I do have quite a bit of tin-glazed and I also have quite a lot of good reference material however I also have a house guest so can't delve into it right at the moment. If you don't have definitive info before, I'll try to have a look in a few days.

    Just off the top of my head, I'm thinking this one may be Dutch. Jugs of this general type were also made in England and Germany. The marks on this one remind me of Dutch. I think it probably is early 18th C, have to look because late 17th is also rolling around my brain though don't quote me on any of that as it's just a quick thought rather than a researched suggestion. It's lovely:)

    Forgot to mention that the mark looks like WK or something close to that to me.

    I'm not sure the OP is still with us but I'll add this anyway.

    Some terms to try in searching:

    Frankenthal or Frankfurt jug (for German similar)
    Wrythen Delft jug (it appears that yours has a slightly lobed, twist body)

    The WK mark is similar to some on Dutch Delft items from the the De 3 Porceleyne Flessies factory by artist W. Kool. I found a link with some examples of his mark however I don't know if he made this type or not. Something else to look into.
