It is decorated with\u00a0incised\u00a0stylized foliate against a crosshatched ground above vertical fluting and black glaze highlights. Remains of the original stoneware handle can be seen beneath the metal replacement. It is attached at the top to the remains of the pewter lid hinge and at the bottom using a horizontal metal band, blending in nicely and appearing to be a part of the original design. An additional horizontal band around the neck helps to stabilize the multiple cracks beneath. The original pewter mounted lid went missing long ago, which is not uncommon for a much-used flagon of this age. It measures nearly 9-1\/2&#8243; high.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6879-Version-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7734\" alt=\"IMG_6879 - Version 2\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6879-Version-2.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"470\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6879-Version-2.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6879-Version-2-255x300.jpg 255w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_68811.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7740\" alt=\"IMG_6881\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_68811.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"414\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_68811.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_68811-289x300.jpg 289w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6885.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"IMG_6885\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6885.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"322\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_68881.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7737\" alt=\"IMG_6888\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_68881.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"313\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_68881.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_68881-300x234.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6882.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7738\" alt=\"IMG_6882\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6882.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"365\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6882.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6882-300x273.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6886.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7736\" alt=\"IMG_6886\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6886.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6886.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6886-300x240.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_68921.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7735\" alt=\"IMG_6892\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_68921.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"384\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_68921.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_68921-300x288.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This fine example has its original handle intact and shows what mine would have looked like before it broke and was brought to the local tinker for repair.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/german-jug.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7714\" alt=\"german jug\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/german-jug.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"454\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/german-jug.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/german-jug-264x300.jpg 264w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Photo courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.martynedgell.com\">Martyn Edgell<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This rustic brown\u00a0stoneware jug\u00a0with ovoid body was made in the Muskau region of Germany in the mid 1700s.
