Has a sound when you shake it. This is a very common thing in pottery where a very "minute" particle of the clay inside a very confined space of the piece separates during the firing (more than 1000 deg C) and becomes free inside making that sound. The jug has passed Royal Doulton inspection and has the QC sticker on it.
