This jug was shown in the British Pavilion of the Paris 1925 exhibition. Of the displays of ceramics to be seen there, the critic Frank Rutter wrote: 'A good example of English traditional slipware... is the Harvest Jug by Michael Cardew, one of Mr. Bernard Leach's co-workers and pupils. Traditional in its sturdily British shape, this jug has individual distinction in the transparent golden brown of its colour.'
