Anthony House Antiques

Description

A rare survivor and rarer still to find in Britain, it's a drunken looking pot appearing to be of coiled construction. A drinking vessel for sure, this type of pottery was made in the Seigburg area through the 13th and 14th century similarly ash glazed but mat. Into the 15th century still similar but with a gloss finish and pretty well ceased in the 16th. So this tankard lived through the the times of Richard the Lion heart, good? King John and Edwards 1,2 and 3. It is just amazing to think what this has been a silent witness to during its time. Normally these are known from shards from excavations and here is one 99.5 per cent complete.
