[Agemegos]

They were common in Australia at least from 1850 to 1960. Capacity about eight litres, mass about 500 g including an iron hook to hang them by: important, they leak if you rest them on a surface.

A Google search turned up one available for sale now for A$59, but that seems like a gimmicky price to me. I also found a hessian (burlap) one with a vinyl back (that can rest against something and not leak) for A$40.
