Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I don't have the bowl in my possession, it is in a small museum now, so I cannot re test it. I think (assume)...
Here are 2 stoneware jugs from my own collection, both with a lobed base. The right one is a misfired jug, damaged in the oven. [ATTACH]
I am looking for examples, but for now I cannot find any. I don't know much of silver, a bit more of stoneware jugs, as I was a volunteer in...
I don't think your theory is that wild. It is surely possible this bowl was looted originally. Sadly I could not find out the details of the...

Yes, the handwritten parchment is medieval (I haven't identified it yet, but it is about Pantaleonis). The book plate is ugly, I agree, but it...
Yes they are. Thanks to your reply! :)
The victim could be the maker/viewer of the engraving, the common man.
Today I have received back a mail from the museum. I will try to translate it a the best I can (with my poor English, steenkolenengels in...
