JUG

Unique ID: MAS-D100052

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Published

One badly damaged ceramic jug with marine encrustration. The vessel is probably stoneware, but possibly glazed redware as there appears to be the characteristic 'orange peel' texture of salt-glazed stoneware visible in the photo, with the 'reeding' that you get round the rims of stoneware vessels. If this is the case it is almost certainly German in origin. The rounded shape would place it somewhere in the second half of the 16th century or first half of the 17th century.

Notes:

This item was found along with an onion bottle (MAS-D100040) and were recovered from the Goodwin Sands, Kent.
