North America, United States, Texas, late Spanish Colonial Period, ca. 19th century CE. A brass pitcher or water jug discovered in Texas that likely belonged to a Spanish Colonial era settler. The piece exhibits a flat foot, walls that swell gently outward, a tall neck, and a handle that is riveted to the rim. The body shows signs of heavy use and old repairs. A fascinating find that gives a glimpse into the life of Europeans on the early American frontier. Size: 5.5" Diameter x 8" H (14 cm x 20.3 cm)
