I can not quite see in the photos whether the stand ring was subsequently removed or whether the bottom is original quite flat. In any case, the suspension was subsequently drilled through. Originally, such an object was not meant to be hung, but stood on a table. We actually specialize in stoneware here at the museum, however I was looking for a comparison in our library. The motif of a man drinking is not uncommon, but rather found on wall tiles. Yet the subjects are never depicted unclothed! The flat shape is also unusual. Where did you get the object? One must always be careful in the art trade. Otherwise, the type of painting and also the style is typical for the Lower Rhine. There could be various places of manufacture, such as Hüls, Issum, Schaephuysen, Sevelen or Tönisberg. I have seen similarities to pottery from these places, but no direct comparison. As I said, the flat shape is rather unusual. I hope this information will help you a bit. Feel free to contact me again” <img src="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/s/?view=att&th=1845bf2ca83ba901&attid=0.2&disp=emb&zw&atsh=1" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
