Pottery Antique Spirit Barrel Plum Brandy

During the 19th century Taverns and inns would have a variety of pottery and stoneware barrels on their bars. Before optics were invented drinks would be poured from these barrels it a measure or straight into the appropriate glass. These Barrels would hold all manner of drinks from spirits to soft drinks.
 
This is a Victorian pottery Plum Brandy barrel with tap and hand painted decoration to the barrel.
 
The condition is overall good, some losses to the painted decoration.
