Description: | Post Medieval pottery vessel fragmentThe pottery sherd is a neck fragment from a large salt-glazed stoneware jug of Bartmann (or Beaded-Man) type, sometimes referred to as Bellarmine jugs. The fragment comprises the circular mouth (with a diameter of 56.1mm and an internal diameter of 35.7mm), the neck and handle, and has broken above the globular body (with a surviving height of 126mm, a maximum surviving width of 101.7mm, a surviving depth of 142.4mm and a weight of 436.1g). The mouth has a series of external mouldings; the lower mouldings have been lost where the handle has been attached to the neck. The handle is of oval section (27mm wide and 25mm thick) with a midrib on the top, flanked by shallow grooves. The incised face on the front of the jug was applied by a stamp and has broken beneath the nose, so that the characteristic beard has been lost. The stoneware fabric is grey and is micaeous with very few inclusions. The glaze has the usual speckled-brown colour.The vessel was likely to have been produced around the Rhine, possibly in the Cologne area during the mid-seventeenth century and used for liquid storage.
