Description: | Sherd from the neck of a Bellarmine jug. The sherd is a pale grey cream stoneware with a mottled brown glaze on the outside. It is decorated with a very stylised bearded face. The sherd is 30.5mm long, 29.9mm wide and 9.1mm thick; it weighs 10.6 grams. This type of pottery was produced in Frechen, Germany. The most common Frechen Ware was the `Bellarmine' or Bartman jug. It is a jug with a bearded face on the neck and a medallion on the body. These jugs were shipped in mass quantities to England between 1550 and 1700. They were mainly used in inns and taverns for storing and serving wine.
