Nice job. Those are good examples of mid 19th century housewares. Once upon a time ago I had a small collection of them, but not anymore.

I don't see many that old in such good condition. I find parts, and so far not even enough to glue them together.

Looks like a fresh water dive. If it was in salt or brackish water, submerge the items in fresh water for several months changing out the water every couple weeks to allow any salt to leach out or they will go to dust in a few years.

Maybe I'm losing my mind, but the jug looks different between these two pictures. More ovoid and a different lip in the first pic.
