The wreck the where the OP found the jug was purportedly in the Philippines. The OP was thinking the jug looked Chinese, but the jugs you posted are identified as Spanish.

I believe the photo in my post “Mga Bangang Kastila” is the description of the jugs AARC posted. Look at his photo, then mine.

When I asked you to look at AARC's photo I was talking about the descriptive plaque in front of the display. Although it's cropped in AARC's photo, I believe that the photo I posted is the entire plaque in front of that display.
