Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation

A stoneware jug (fired at such a high temperature that the clay becomes very hard and fully water proof). Probably made in germany in the region of the Rhineland and imported. This sort of jug is probably 17th Century in date, and would have been used to import liquid. The mottled surface is produced by throwing salt into the kiln, so these jugs are often described as 'salt glazed'. Although this one is plain, sometimes they have bearded faces on them, and then they are called 'Bellarmine jugs', supposedly after a Cardinal Bellarmino who was very strongly against the Protestant Church. They are also sometime also Bartman or Beardman jugs. Fragments of these sorts of pots are quite common on archaeological sites in England, but a whole one is relatively uncommon.
