Production: Unidentified Frechen pottery
Salt-glazed stoneware decorated with an applied bearded mask, and two impressed semi-circular motifs
Greyish-buff stoneware, thrown, with applied handle, and moulded and applied and impressed decoration, partially coated with a thin pale brown wash, and salt-glazed. The jug has an ovoid body contracting into a short neck with two cordons below the rim, and a small handle with a longitudinal ridge, and a thumb or finger impression below its lower end. A bearded mask is applied to the front of the neck, and lower down on the side are two impressed semi-circular motifs edged with dots, resembling horseshoes. The wash and glaze have dribbled down the lower part of the sides during firing.
