milk churn
Farmer's cream vessel
A milk churn is a tall metal container with a lid, traditionally used to store and transport fresh milk from farms to dairies or markets.
The cylindrical shape with narrow neck and handles made churns easy to load onto carts or trucks.
Though largely obsolete since bulk tanker collection became standard, milk churns remain nostalgic symbols of rural life: An old milk churn sat by the farmhouse door.
