Featured is this a real bellarmine jug?

is this a real bellarmine jug or a replica.

 

I've always wanted one of these ! Can you get us better pics Hunt ?

 

yes i will have it soon here hopefully in one piece. then i will send new photo's . but if it is real it is the rolls roys of bellarmine jugs beautifull even if it is a copy. But we will see when i post new photo's.

 

Was your Rolls Royce of Jugs cheap ? I may even buy a repro if it's good.There's some really skilled artisan potters who still make them.
PS-I'd be happy if I just mud-larked the face section !

 

It a real bellarmine or Bartmann/baardman, but I think your question is about the age.
Looking forward to more photos. Even if it is a later piece, it has value, depending on when it was made, although not nearly as much as a 16th/17th century one.

they all look the same to me.........good luck !

 

SWEET JUG!!!!!!!!!!!

​

 

in have paid 178 euro for it and it is 30 cm high

 

Even though I used to go bottle digging I couldn't tell you if it's period or a copy but I will say if it is period it's in remarkably good condition, maybe far too good.

 

I think later copy. Early twentieth perhaps.

 

Thanks for tweaking the photo @Aquitaine . It gives us more of an idea what we're looking at.

Did you buy it off Marktplaats? I ask because of the style of the number on the photo. Is the seller the one from Frechen or thereabouts? He sells genuine antique Frechen stoneware.
(Don't remember his exact location, but it is in Bartmann 'heartland'.)

Would love to see the text and the seals/crests too when you get it.

 

Just a bit of fun, the town crest of Frechen, the lion is holding a bellarmine/Bartmann jug in its paws

 

the seller is from belgium and indeed he sells also real ones. he is selling off his whole collection. nobody bidded on this one, and i thought what the heck even if it is a copy it is a good copy. so deffently no money wasted. can´t wait to see it in real life.

 

The detail in this is quite crisp,the glaze may be a bit too perfect to be 17th century-but even if it's a later early 20th century- for 178 Euros I would've been very tempted.
If it tests as as really old-it's a spectacular find.Good luck bro !
Check this one out (one of the earlier ones I've found online)-

yes i very doubt it that i will be real, that would be amazing. but still a real show stopper from a distance and without glasses. Hahaha

 

And part of a great tradition. The last Bartmann jug maker of Frechen stopped a little over ten years ago, but it had been a continuous production since the 16th century, possibly earlier.
Of course its heyday was in the 16-17th centuries, but later ones are not replicas, just made in a later period.

 

-still lovely detail Hunt.

 

Dear Any, the tekst reads as follow:
PIEFGE : WE : HAT : DICH : ERFONGDE : DAT : WOR : NECVDE : FRONGDE : DOBT : GETNPDABWES : LEDERMAN : NE : SCHNEL : WIN : VS : DIKAN.
The tekst behind the word DOBT was melted and barely readable.

 

the jug has arrived here some photo's

 

here is the bottom
