Antique Enamelware Kerosene Fuel Pouring Jug Brick Red 3 Quart
Description: This enamelware kerosene pouring jug dates to the early part of the 1900s, once used for household heating appliances, workshops and barns before plastic and modern containers took over. It features a metal body with a brick-red or reddish-brown enamel finish which reflects the practical design of early industrial-era fuel containers. Even with its age related damage, this jug remains a handsome, rustic decorative piece that will add warm color and history to shelves, workshops or vintage vignettes.
