Bellarmine or Bartmann Jug. Small. Bearded man decoration. (McRae Collection) Pottery Stoneware Small size Bellarmine. Bearded Face decoration. Handled. Orange/brown speckled glaze. 184 mm. Late 1600s-1700s
Very Good. But there is a filled chip at the front top. Covers all three rings down the top, total area looks to be about 30 x 17 mm. Handle is good. The bearded face has been really deformed when put on - very crude indeed! Some kiln marks around the middle. 25 x 10 mm chip at the front base and some smaller chips and nibbles elsewhere around the base. Lovely colour. A nice little example. Grade: 7.3 Estimate: $400 - 600
