Jug
Jugs without spouts were used much like mugs are today. Potters were active in Kingston-on-Thames (now part of London) from the 1260s, and their earliest described products were royal orders. Both men and women were eventually listed among the city’s "Poters," who supplied large numbers of ceramic pieces to the nearby capital.
