Jug, by Jason Shackleton

This earthenware jug was made by the Scottish artist Jason Shackleton in 1982.

The jug was made in red clay, then 'dipped' in a white slip. The decoration consisting of three bands of fish heads and a band of fish scales was scratched through the white slip to the red clay in the sgraffito technique. The pot was bisqued, then dipped in a clear honey glaze and fired with wood.

During the 1980s the Scottish Development Agency purchased a number of hand-crafted items for its Scottish Crafts Collection. The aim of the collection was to inform the public of craft production in Scotland through touring exhibitions and education programmes. When the Scottish Craft Council was wound up, the collection was transferred to the National Museums of Scotland.
