Production: Knütgen, Anno (Possibly)
Greyish-buff stoneware, thrown, decorated with three applied moulded reliefs and thin off-white probably ash-glaze. The bottle has a bulbous body with pronounced horizontal throwing marks, a narrow neck, and a ring handle. The sides are decorated with three moulded medallions, each showing Adam and Eve standing on either side of the Tree of Knowledge (The Fall) enclosed by a garland. The relief on the viewer's right when the handle is towards them, is more clearly defined than the one on the left, and the one on the front is less sharp.
