Re: Jug (Water/Wine?)
This piece is German version of English Jasperware, which was first made in the mid 1700's and remains in production to this day. Your piece dates from the 1890's, at auction $75.00.

Re: Jug (Water/Wine?)
The auction market is really saturated right now, large numbers of people are having a pretty rough goe because of the economy, gas prices etc..... I'd be tempted to keep it, as I feel these pieces are currently undervalued.
