Earthenware ug

This earthenware jug was found in the River Forth near Gargunnock in Stirlingshire. It is of a type made at Throsk, on the Forth, in Stirlingshire. It dates from between 1630 and 1700.

The exterior of the jug is lead glazed. Part of the rim is missing.

By the early 17th century several families were involved in producing pottery, tiles and bricks in the Throsk area. They took advantage of local supplies of carse clay, and peat and coal for fuel.
