Picked this up today at a thrift shop, anyone know who this guy is or where this jug is from? The only writing is " JOSEPH SKINFLINT. "

Nice find for a thrift shop, love the primitive look. Sorry I can't help much, I think it would date around TOC, plus or minus 10 years. Correct me if I am wrong. I have seen modern art examples and even people painting their names on older jugs. I am 99% sure this is rule for it's age though.
