"427026","LON-6A2B36","PAS4D46A2B3001BCB","VESSEL","Jug","","","","","","","1","","","POST MEDIEVAL","1600","1700","A Post Medieval ceramic sherd from a Westerwald stoneware jug dating to the early 17th century.  The sherd includes all of the rim and neck of the jug and the applied face-mask.  There is a scar at the point of attachment for the upper section of the handle.  The sherd is salt-glazed light grey stoneware with cobalt-blue painted decoration under the glaze.  The mask shows a face in full view with a ridged line running down the centre of the forehead and the nose, and then a separated line running under the noise and down either side of the mouth, similar to a moustache.  Around the face there are radiating pointed ovals.  To each side of the mask there are three stamped motifs in the shape of an inverted heart with decorative terminal projecting from the point.  At the junction between the neck and the body there are decorative ridge and grooves.


A very similar face-mask is shown on the neck of a baluster jug illustrated in Gaimster (1997:260 no.114).  Gaimster describes this as a baluster jug with pulled lip and strap handle, with a domed pewter lid and double-acorn thumb piece.  Applied around the body of the jug is a frieze of seven shields-of-arms for the Electoral College set within an arcade, each identified by initials.  The neck of the jug has an applied grotesque lion-mask.
