I don't know, some kind of handled thing. With no description and such dark pictures that's all I can say.

RED might be interested, he is looking for applied jug handles...

Thanks all, It has been raining all day so the pictures are dark. I will take some better pictures next nice day. Thanks, Kevin....

Here are a couple better pictures. The jug is 10'' tall and 7'' wide, with lots of bubbles. There are no other markings on this jug. Thanks, Kevin...

I believe it's contemporary, probably 50 - 60 years old. Just has that look. Just my opinion.

Thanks to all members who replied. Kevin.....

Hello Kevin. I like it. It looks good but I think the handle was applied at the bottom first and lifted and pressed to the neck last. The question is what kind of tool pushed the top of the handle onto the neck? I hope you have been to my home page because that tells y0u some things about my life in the glass making world. It is a great hobby. RED Matthews

Hello Red, I thought this jug may have been older than what some people say by the pontil scar. I have a lot to learn about dating bottles and such. This belongs to a friend who would like to sell it and I don't know what to tell him about the value. It has great color and nice workmanship. I think you are correct about the way the handles were applied. I am posting a couple more pictures for you to look at. Thanks, Kevin....

It looks good to me. I would probably not offer enough to satisfy him. I would figure a total of $ 60 for the bottle and shipping cost. Let me know. RED Matthews <bottlemysteris@yahoo.com>
