Memory jugs are also known as forget-me-not jugs, spirit jars, ugly jars, or memory vessels.  They are adorned with an assortment of materials, typically associated with the deceased.

There is a lot of interesting history about these pieces, take some time to read about them (easy google search, memory jugs).  It’s quite fascinating!
