Rusito, you need to add some context to the jar, to make it possible to identify and date.

Archaeology is all about context.

agree with both Tinkerer and homefire......and definitely need MORE pictures of the entire jar (including the bottom) if you want a reasonable answer.

They call this type of pottery jug "Stoneware" or "Earthenware"

By the looks of just what I see, this could probably date anywhere from 1850's through the 1880's by the rings on the neck, but if a could see the body's shape, I could give you a better idea. It's a shame its broke, looks to have some salt glaze orange peel texture. Not sure of where it was made, but the looks of the clay and the turning swirls, it's no doubt a early utilitarian handmade & hand turned clay pottery Jug.

Cheers,  Great
Jim
