Jug ca. 1590-1600 Decoration after a design by Sebald Beham German This stoneware was produced on speculation for a middle-market clientele. Though handmade, its decoration was quick work, pressed on with reusable molds based on designs lifted from prints. Siegburg potters developed a reputation for interesting forms and the latest styles rendered in a distinctive gray-white glaze; higher end pieces (like a related Siegburg stoneware ewer, 17.190.2058) boasted silver rather than pewter mounts. They were able to reach a huge market by distributing their work via trading posts controlled by the Hanseatic League, a powerful federation of merchant guilds and their market towns that included Lübeck, Cologne, London, Bruges, and later Antwerp and, to the north, Riga and Tallinn.Elizabeth Cleland, 2017. Jug. German, Siegburg. ca. 1590-1600. Salt-glazed stoneware; pewter lid. Ceramics-Pottery
