Traditional medieval-style English jug, with a capacity of approximately 2 litres / 3.5 pints. Light enough to be poured at the dinner table, but equally suitable for holding flowers as a decorative piece.
Thrown on the wheel with an iron-rich stoneware clay, glazed with an alkaline ash glaze - a traditional North Carolinian recipe which uses only ash, ground glass and clay, in this case a sandy earthenware dug from my street in Stoke-on-Trent during gas works.
The usually pale green glaze has been applied thickly, becoming a rich, cream, opaque glass with hints of opalescent blue, forming long vertical streaks down the jugs surface.
Fired in the gas kiln in a reduction atmosphere.
Capacity: 2l / 3.5 pints
Dimensions: 14×29cm
