My wife picked up two of these jugs and I don't know for sure exactly what they were designed to hold. On a pottery forum, someone said that they are preserve jugs used before the onset of glass canning jars and a wax seal was used to hold a tin top in place as the first picture indicates. This makes sense, however, I wonder if they were used to store other commodities, and in particular, what date range do they align with?
The first & second images are from the forum and the third and fourth images are of one of the jugs that I have.
