Has anyone seen one of these before??

I recently aquired a stoneware jug which I am told dates from the late 1700's. It has buttons, Safety pins, and lots of other little things stuck to it.I was led to believe that this is called a 'Friendship Jug'. Apparently in PA or VA when someone new moved into the neighbour hood a jug or other piece of pottery was taken from house to house and these little keepsakes were stuck to the pottery. If there is anyone out there who has one, or who has seen one I would really appreciate you leaving me a message.
