<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DanaB, post: 1952669, member: 10739&quot;]Fakes weren&#039;t marked because the person making them wouldn&#039;t be with a pottery. Oh some might try to do a knock-off mark but most left no mark. So then it goes to the weight of the jug and anything embedded into the clay. I don&#039;t see anything in the clay so I&#039;m basing this off of a jug that is not too tall or wide yet is 3/4 lbs. That tells me that even though it&#039;s not thick at its opening its thicker elsewhere in the jug. And based upon this and being handmade, this jug is most likely a fake. But as I said, it&#039;s still a very nice jug. It&#039;s still from the 1800s. Most likely around 1860-1880s and very nicely done! But I&#039;m well versed in the history of toby and character jugs and that&#039;s why I know about such jugs. Most people don&#039;t know they exist.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
