I don't know anything about the current condition of the jug but I
tend to agree with Ernie that it is always understood that an item
needs to be returned in the exact condition it was sold. I offer a
money back guarantee but I would not accept a piece that has been
altered.
Is there no non-destructive test, like UV, that could have been used?

an ulterior motive in demanding a refund.

there is some restoration to the rim, I think it's a pretty good
example for the price. The burnished red colour is lovely.
