Featured Bellarmine inspired salt glazed jug

Hi everyone, I have a salt glazed jug with a bearded man face, Can you help me to identifying the mark on the bottom? Who could be the artist? I take photos from 2 directions. Thank you so much!

 

No help, but very cool face jug!!

 

WELCOME TinaV !!!! .. Joy.

 

Thank you, a mouse mummy was in it.

 

Oh, thank you so much, I did it! Someone please help me to identifying this jug. I’m very excited!

 

I’m from Hungary, it could be an European jug. I checked everywhere in English and in German, I read sites, I saw hundreds of photos, but I saw only Bartmanns Belarmine jugs with bearded male face. I haven’t found replicas with this technique and with mark. The different is, the face not embossed with stamp. But if I would know the age of the jug...

 

You are great!! Thank you very much!

 

Welcome. Have you asked the mouse?

 

Hello and welcome -

Here in the US we have what we call studio artists.
People who make wares and sell at craft shows, art shows, street fairs, art galleries, etc.
It is often difficult to find out who they are. Sometimes you get lucky though.

I suspect that might be what you have. A jug made by a studio artist.

It's a pretty cool jug.

 

No I haven’t.

 

I thank at first it could be a studio art jug, because I saw the incrised mark on that kind of potteries. Maybe I will ask the seller for more information about the origin of jug, where did he find etc.

 

Now, the inside of jug is clean, free from mouse hair.

 

you'd better find a German discussion board for this item.
from form and color it's a Bartmannskrug from the Köln-Frechen region. they were typically colored in Kölnisch Braun (Cologne brown).
from the traces of a lathe this seems to be a replica item from between 1850s to 1914.

 

I read more about the Hungarian ceramic tecnique and history.

I found this:
"A magas tűzön égetett sómázas kőcserép (Steinzeug) nem készült magyar fazekasműhelyekben, mert nem volt megfelelő alapanyag, megfelelő agyag. Magyarországra csak mint importáru került be, népi használata ritka."

I translate this for you "The high-fired wares, or stonewares (Steinzeug) was not made in Hungarian pottery workshops, because there wasn't suitable raw materials or ingredients, suitable clay. These salt glazed stonewares has been imported to Hungary, the folk usage is rare." (Sorry for poor English).

 

What a great information! Thank you! Not unthinkable, because in that time there was Austrian - Hungarian Monarchy.

 

or as it is still called by some - Kack-Monarchie
