The old jug has one interesting mark on it. See close up. Nothing else.

Obviously the bottle has seen better days. Found at same spot in 33 pieces. Took me two days, but I got it mostly back together.

This was from a pit on a Civil War campsite. New York button was with the broken bottle. I know NOTHING about clay, glass, ceramic (whatever it is) ware.

Age guesses? Value? Maker? Posted in "What Is It?" as well . . .

I can make out some writing on the broken bottle. My best guess is: B? R? HFIN=PR (?) LUS (?) E (?) Also two circles with a cross inside.
