Hi Steve, I agree with you. However, if one gets any silver plating on the vessel, it forms a conductive path and can allow current to flow around the periphery or the bottom of the jar at the same time it's flowing through the water. That will cause a division of current flow and subsequent lowering of total silver in the water. This is a real problem if using a constant current device.
My recommendation is to toss the vessel if it shows any sign of plating. After all, the jar is inexpensive.
