    Hi all,
    I’m hoping someone can help ID this tiny jug - just 7cm high. I’m wondering if it might be early English, perhaps Bretby? No marks I can find. Many thanks.

    It’s Belgian, by the look of it.

    The glaze yes could be, but not familiar with Belgian pottery having the dark terracotta base material - it’s more usually white or lighter in my experience- happy to be wrong.

    It could be Dutch. Dutch drip glaze pottery is made with different base clays, depending on the region. Some of it bakes as a terracotta colour.
    It is a sweetie.

    Not English. When the glaze is thickly all over the base, I also think Belgian, but as Any Jewelry points out, it could be Dutch, too. So, somewhere from that area of Europe.
