The jug has a bulbous pear-shaped body standing on a outward-curving foot. It has a pointed lip and an ear-shaped strap handle with a vertical groove on each side of its outer edge. The body is decorated with a continuous rural scene. On the extreme right, a woman draws up a bucket from a well. A wheelbarrow stands beside it. Behind her a man leads a horse out of a stable adjacent to a large timber-framed farmhouse with a thatched roof and smoking chimney. On its left, a seated dog is chained to his kennel, and there is another dog behind the wheelbarrow. Two hens are near the first dog and one near the second. In the foreground a dairymaid is milking a red cow, and further to the left is a harrow and a plough, part of a fence and a low tree. Further back, on the left of the house, there is a haystack and a man holding a rake and walking towards an open gate in a fence. Behind it is a field in which a man and a woman are raking and staking hay into heaps. In the distance behind them is a windmill, two houses, and a church against a ridge of hills with small trees on their summits. To the left of the hayfield a man stands on a heap of hay in a cart drawn by two horses, and forks hay up to another man on the top of a large hayrick. Beyond him to the left there are fields, hedges and hills. In the left foreground there is a man on horseback allowing his horse to drink from a duck pond with a tree and part of a fence beside it. Inside the neck there is a red scalloped line.46referenceexhibition-3305adlib-exhibition-3305534a3247-91a9-398f-abe9-7b419586f568Feast and Fast: The Art of Food in Europe (1500-1800)C.1055-19281accession numberC.1055-192871240priref712403789old object numberurihttps://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/71240https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/71240on front under lippainted in redIohn.

It might also have been made in north Staffordshire.Label text from the exhibition ‘Feast and Fast: The Art of Food in Europe, 1500–1800’, on display at The Fitzwilliam Museum from 26 November 2019 until 31 August 2020: Demand for dairy produce increased in eighteenth-century Britain. Ensuring that dairy herds had food during the Winter was critical, so haymaking became an important annual event. This explains its inclusion on John Bridgen’s milk jug, even if by 1780, cows were also being fed with grasses, turnips, and cabbages to guarantee a more consistent, year-round yield. Skilled dairymaids were vital to meeting the demand, milking their cows twice daily, normally at sunrise and before sundown. Another essential task was preparing and storing unweaned calves’ stomachs to provide rennet for curd and cheese production.referenceterm-106779adlib-term-106779f0706fcd-d94c-3987-bcb5-f7f794332b6a18th Century, Latereferenceterm-107437adlib-term-10743796f4b0d1-fc11-39ff-ae91-1b23d888d479George IIIcreamreferenceterm-42861adlib-term-428615b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956cearthenwarereferenceterm-107733adlib-term-10773300160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4lead-glazeHeightcm24.2Widthcm21.2referencemedia-34184adlib-media-34184f0bd68e4-39d1-3218-b634-a24f531ca6eejpegaa/aa8/C_1055_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels740widthpixels57017029263771791imagejpegaa/aa8/mid_C_1055_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels649widthpixels50017029263771791imagejpegaa/aa8/C_1055_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels740widthpixels57017029263771791imagejpegaa/aa8/preview_C_1055_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels325widthpixels25017029263771791image0media
