This week on The Happy Page: We’re going to watch someone make a very old joke. Out of pottery.
Puzzle jugs were popular in the 18th and 19th century, although one of the oldest ones ever found in England was made in the 13th century. The jug is a practical joke, like a modern dribble glass only on a much larger scale – in order to drink without spilling, you must first figure out the trick. This may look simple to an armchair observer, but it probably wouldn’t be if you were a soused tavern patron or a tipsy party guest.
