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.
