Grigsby, The Longridge Collection of English Slipware and Delftware (2000), fig.S88Although slip-trailed rather than sgraffito-decorated, the distinctive shape and body colour of this jug suggests a Ewenny origin. Compare with the jug of similar height, attributed to Ewenny and dated 1784 illustrated by J.M.Lewis, The Ewenny Potteries (1982), p.71.
