Featured Bellarmine Jug/Bottle

Hi dear Members,

I bought today a ceramic bottle, what I thought it was at first, just because I liked the bearded man.
Lately I read that it is actually the Bellarmine Jug and that it has quite a deep history, which is really cool (still like to learn something new)
The sticker at the base says "salt glaze genuine pottery free of lead and cadmium".

So, could someone please help me in identifying when it was made and probably where?
I thought, maybe it could be Westerwald pottery, as colours look similar? But really I'm not sure...

 

It is very nice Westerwald. I saw this style emerging in the 1970s-80s, so I guess that is the period.
I always love bellarmines.

 

Echte Töpferarbeit means it is hand made pottery. A "Töpfer" is a potter. The Töpfer did a good job.

 

Thank You for correct translating "hand made" is always good!

 

Then my assumptions were right

 

They were spot on!
