Production: Unidentified Frechen pottery
Brown salt-glazed stoneware with applied bearded face mask and coat-of-arms
Grey-buff stoneware, thrown, with applied handle and applied moulded relief decoration, coated with iron-brown wash, and salt-glazed. The wash does not extend to the base all round, and has dribbled at the front. The bottle has an ovoid body which contracts at the top into a short narrow cylindrical neck with a cordon round the mouth. The small rolled handle has a spearhead-shaped extension at the lower end which rests on the shoulder. On the neck there is a clearly-defined bearded face mask, and lower down on the front, an oval medallion bearing a coronet over a shield-of-arms with the charge: tierced in pale (reversed): 1., a lion rampant; 2, per fesse in chief three pallets, in base, a hunting-horn stringed; 3 (in base) six roundels, 2 and 4 fessewise.
