Description

A unusual 13th-14th Century Anthropomorphic vessel possibly English or European. This is a very interesting piece however I have no idea as to what its function was? This type of pottery with applied slip and moulded decoration were characteristic of the pottery making centres in Normandy in the 13th century. Many of their products have been found in excavations in England, especially in and around port cities such as Southampton. Undoubtedly, this technique of ceramic decoration influenced the pottery-making centres in England. The most Common form of anthropomorphic pottery are jugs, these have a variety of different colours however the earthenware type glaze is the same as this vessel. There is a fair bit of damage to the vessel and is to be expected considering its age, it is an interesting fragment of time.
