A miniature two-tone stoneware jug, likely produced for the Morgan County Kentucky Sorghum Festival. The vessel features a cylindrical body, a sloping shoulder, and a narrow neck topped by a small D-shaped handle. The exterior is finished with a white alkaline-type glaze on the upper third, while the lower body is covered in a brown, speckled salt or Albany-type slip glaze. The lower body features hand-incised script decoration through the brown slip to the clay body below. The front is inscribed County above the date 1978. The left side is inscribed Morgan and the right side is inscribed Sorghum. The base of the jug is unfinished and bears incised markings, including a stylized cursive signature that appears to begin with the letter J and a separate mark composed of two curved, mountain-like lines.Height: 4 1/2 inchesDiameter: 3 1/8 inches at the base.
