guilhermetome Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Hello there, I´m a writer for a TV show in Brazil. We came accros a guy who needs money and has a great collection of things. We are telling his story. The thing is; he has no clue of the value on his stuff. We are trying to make an auction to help him. I´m cornered on this bottle. Can anyone help me identifying it? My goal is to guess a value based on history of the Jar Here are some pictures of the detail on the jar. if there is any trouble answering here, you can reply me at guilhermetome@gmail.com thanks a lot!

bciskepottery Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Hard to tell . . . could you post a full picture? Also, the neck appears threaded for a lid/plug . . . is that also available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinRocks Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 This looks like it is an older piece than those links, salt fired jugs where sometimes used as ballast on ships, so there use to be a lot of them. The double handles make me think it's either of that age or a reproduction, If it is an early example, it could be worth quite a lot in theory. This looks like it was painted red at some point in its life, might hurt the value. No idea what it is worth, that would be difficult to judge from those photos unless someone with very specific knowledge stumbles upon this! Perhaps call nearby museums, ask if they can look or recommend someone with proper knowledge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
