Summary[edit]

Description
English: Jug with bearded face

Germany, Cologne
About 1550
Salt-glazed stoneware, with relief-moulded decoration and iron wash

The earliest European stoneware was produced in the Rhineland in 1300-50, having developed separately from the East Asian tradition. After 1400, potters learned to throw salt into the kiln to create a tight-fitting glaze. Salt-glazed stonewares became very popular and were widely exported. This type of jug is called a Bartmann (\'beard man\') in German, a reference to the bearded face on the neck.
