Drench tinning of objects was simply the cheap way of protecting the contents from leached poisoning of the green poisonous mould on brass and as they thought at the time copper... Taking no chances they did both and other utensils like spoons and ladles. The poison was verdigris .. and potentially fatal.
I conclude by suggesting a milk bucket or measure although I cannot read the cartouche.
