Mark I have also heard of these being called "Harvest Jugs" and were "handed around" at harvest time and the spout was drunk from . In New England they drank "Switchel" (also from a Switchel Ring ) .This must be of English origin . Oatmeal and some form of alcohol . Sort of an alcoholic thirst drink to keep a body cutting the wheat for the long summer days. The pot also seams a cousin to the "Possett" or Wassail Bowl also with multi handles and a spout to drink from . All the best , Guy

Guy, it is curious how these shapes run through history. The earliest form of this type I have seen, so far, was Roman; but that had one handle. These types of pitcher run through the medieval period with either one or three handles.
As a whole I think people liked to share more than they do now (More's the pity)! The wassail bowl was a perfect example of this, though it is a little more up-market than a plain old spouted pitcher.
