Antique tins and jugs steeped in history
Each beautiful item has a story to tell. Snuff boxes and bottles were common in the 17th century UK when powdered tobacco was stored in chests tiny enough for a waistcoat pocket. Cannisters, jugs and pots for tea and coffee create evocative images of how these popular beverages have been stored and served throughout the centuries. Each antique jar, tin and jug on our site contains a detailed description, bringing it to life so you can learn all about it, just like you would in an antique shop.
How can you use an antique pottery jug?
While many of our attractive antique pottery jugs are for ornamental use, most can be repurposed and given a new lease of life in the home. Use to display seasonal blooms or serve infused water to parched guests on a summer’s day. An antique tobacco jar, spice jar or spirit measure may once have had a specific purpose, but it’s up to you how you use your second-hand bounty. Oil jars with small openings are excellent for displaying ornamental grasses, while jewellery boxes or pharmacy bottles are handy for trinkets, essential oils or keys. Or you could use antique tins and jugs as a new home for a favourite plant.
