The development of the New Town at Harlow in Essex during the 1950s led to the discovery of kiln sites and great quantities of sherds at Latton Street and Potter Street in the parish of Latton. Some sherds matched mid seventeenth-century pottery previously known as Metropolitan Slipware because much of it had been found in the City of London. Its place of manufacture had been unknown but can now be identified as the Harlow area.The slip-trailed motifs on this jug correspond to decoration on sherds found at Potter Street.
