Description: | A Post Medieval pottery body sherd from a German Stoneware tankard from Siegburg (Schnelle) (AD1550-1600). The fabric is very fine and white with no glaze. The tankard is decorated with a moulded pattern that depicts two robed figures, each figure in a rectangular panel with a foliate border.
This example is very similar to no.20 (Gaimster 1997:181) that is described as a cylindrical tankard (Schnelle) tapering slightly to neck. It has a pewter lid with a finial and thumbpiece and the applied panel is dated to 1573 (ibid). The decoration is similar but not identical to this example, the dress on the figures is slightly different.
Identified by Meriel Jeater, Museum of London Curator and Medieval and Post Medieval pottery specialist.
Dimensions: weight: 35.38g.
