Default What are these clay jugs?

Please help. I own two clay jugs and have no idea what "style" they are. Can
someone help me identify them?

Both are about 9.5 inches tall and about 8 inches across the girth. Corn
silk netting can still be seen on the inside of the one jug. The reference
to a "chip" in one jug is a shallow nick (the size around of a dime and as
deep) on the bottom of one jug. Outside of that, both jugs are in excellent
shape, the one in perfect condition. The bottoms are "concave" (bowled into
the jug) and fingerprints seen still in the clay are definitely tiny, like a
female's. Collars are fitted on both, about 2" wide each, with 5 small
"loops" set around the collar of each (one loop of the five is larger, on
both jugs). Though there is a slight variance between the two jugs, they can
certainly be considered a "set".

The "glaze" could be egg white, or something applied to the exterior of the
jugs sometime after they were originally made (no glaze is on the interior
of either jug), though it is also possible the glaze was applied at the time
they were made.

I have put the images on the net. Here they a
