VESSEL

Unique ID: IOW-A5B924

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Notes:

Duncan Brown has kindly commented: The form certainly looks like a stoneware mug and the decoration looks familiar. I'm sure I've seen similar roulettes on Raeren-type, or maybe Aachen-type things.

Ben Jervis has commented:

The form would certainly seem to imitate Rhenish stoneware mugs and I assume this is your reason for suggesting a German/Low Countries provenance. Am I correct in thinking that it is earhenware rather than stoneware?

There are some elements which, from the photo at least, may suggest a more local provenance, the way the collar of the vessel is formed is reminiscent of some vessels from west Hants/east Dorset. Certainly local industries were producing earthenware copies of Rhenish products.
