This stoneware Bellarmine jug that dates to the middle of the 17th century (1650). It has an all over attractive tiger glazing, decorated with a face mask and a medallion. It was dug up in the early 1950s at Bray Lock, Bray on the River Thames by someone working for the waterboard, carrying out works on the lock. There are light areas/patches where the glaze is missing, these are not damages or repairs but a natural kiln flaw/kiss, where something has fallen against the bellarmine whilst in the kiln.Measurements: 225 x 123 x 123
