Found this from a local dairy, on the river bank this summer. Great markings down to the plant manager at the time. What do you think it stored? Cream? Cottage cheese?. Kind of small for milk. It is 5 1/2 " high and 3" across.
The winner is---cream container!!! Please thank your wife. I have never seen a cottage cheese container, of this era, but it seems it might be more of a shorter, pot like, vessel.
I'm gonna have to say cottage cheese. The mouth on it seems to be rather large and I would think it would be hard to pour cream out of that. I have some cottage cheese caps I will post later.
