These traditional measures are known as “haystack” jugs because of their distinctive tapered, domed form, which resembles a small haystack. Originally used in England for measuring liquids such as ale, spirits, and other goods, they have become highly collectible for their sculptural shape, warm copper patina, and historical character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach jug is hand-formed in copper with a broad flared rim, rounded foot, and applied handle on the larger sizes.

Not to mention, you’re upcycling older items, which is a more sustainable way to shop—and so better for the environment!”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cform method=\"post\" id=\"product_form_7780400988358\" accept-charset=\"UTF-8\" class=\"ProductForm\" enctype=\"multipart\/form-data\" action=\"https:\/\/thefoxshop.co\/cart\/add\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ProductForm__Variants\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"infiniteoptions-container\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll vintage items have some evidence of wear which is part of their charm.
