Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.

Imperfections are what make things unique and beautiful. Be they people or manufactured items. The fact that each of those jugs is slightly different than the others (not only in size) is something that we've lost in our homogenised, mass produced world and it makes me sad.
