I always hate having to do that, but like you say, he didn't pay much for it, so that's something good at least.

They pop up in auctions round here all the time, normally in sets of three graduated jugs.

About £10 for the two.

I've got the real thing too, a Masons jug like the one at the bottom of the page in that link posted by User9318, paid 50p for it, condition isn't good though. http://www.yobunny.com/pottery/index.php?topic=10571.msg28566#msg28566
