Post-medieval - Raeren jar Bellarmine Bartmann with medallion - 17th century.

MEDIEVAL BELLARMINE STONEWARE JUG FROM RAEREN. Salt-glazed stoneware jug dating from the Renaissance period, with a bearded man’s head in relief at the base of its neck. Center adorned with a medallion on the belly, featuring a coat of arms with a rampant lion. These jugs, known as “Bartmann krug,” were made between 1580 and 1650 mainly in the towns of Frechen and Raeren. Height: 20.1 cm – diameter 13.6 cm dating: Late 17th century. Excellent condition - intact Provenance: Germany, M.Y.R. Gallery.. Previously: Northern Germany Collection According to tradition, the bearded head on the jug’s neck is supposed to represent God. According to another explanation, it was an act of vengeance against Cologne potters, expelled from the city in the 16th century due to the toxic gas released during their firing. Many potters then settled in Frechen. In England, Bartmann Jugs have been called bellarmines since the 17th century. The difference between Cologne Bartmann jars and Frechen jars was that Frechen jars generally had a rounded beard, while Cologne jars had a straight beard. Another difference was that the jugs, jars, and bearded jars around the potter’s wheel were ribbed. The seller can prove that the lot was legally obtained; provenance declaration seen by Catawiki.
