Harvest jug

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]
