Jug
Not on view
The neck and body of this slender, spoutless jug were wheel-turned separately. The maker combed in the horizontal grooves and lines while the vessel was on the wheel and worked the handle and the weighty pinched foot by hand. The creamy, unglazed surface is typical of medieval stoneware produced in Siegburg, near Cologne, using the abundant local clay, which is nearly white. Siegburg ceramics were widely exported to the Netherlands and British Isles.
