Beer or tea makers have dropped the first two jugs (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ewers

'jugs' is the definition.
(ewer is a type of jug)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for ewers that I've seen before include "Vessels with handle and spout" , "Pitchers" , "containers" , "Water jugs" , "Vase-shaped jugs" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
