Harvest jug
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
A Harvest jug is a type of jug made from slipware, with decoration carved through stained clay layers.[1] They are named for their use to carry ale or cider at harvest time.[1][2]
The technique for carving the decoration is known as sgraffito, from the Italian for 'scratched'.[1]
They are traditional in the south-west of England, especially the ports of Barnstaple and Bideford in north Devon and Donyatt in Somerset.[1] They are still made.[2]
