This is a real nice late eighteenth or early nineteenth century red earthenware jug that I acquired yesterday morning - the shape is outstanding, decorated in a colorful multi-colored glaze. These type of Bristol County jugs are known today with single and double lips along the rim.
For more information about this industry - I recommend a research story I wrote for the June 2018 issue of Maine Antique Digest, titled, "The Pottery Industry in Southeastern Massachusetts."
