Thanks ,Very Interesting...Will contact them to get more infos..Don't think mine are German..Let's see.

 

Raeren is in Belgium. the other possibility would be Frechen.
and they are certainly not Dutch.

 

Thanks for the infos..I will send some photos in their Ceramic and Pottery Museum as I have done already at

Thanks for the Infos...I will forward my photos and questions to their Ceramic and Pottery Museum..As I have already done it to Princesse Hoff Museum in Holland...Those 2 stoneware glazed jar with Shells logo make me think they might be XVIII th Cent Dutch...Will inform you asa I will have a response. JB

 

In Friesland, not Holland. Amsterdam is in Holland, Leeuwarden is in Friesland. So the Princessehof in Leeuwarden is in Friesland.
Both Holland and Friesland are in the Netherlands, along with a whole lot of other provinces.

To complicate matters, Holland is split into two provinces, appropriately named North and South Holland.
To complicate things even further, the provinces of Brabant and Limburg are divided between Belgium and the Netherlands. Flanders is even worse, it is divided between Belgium, the Netherlands and France (that one you know ).
I will give you a rest now, so I won't list the specific names.

 

Thank..!!! Ok Ok....Hope they can reply now with more acknowledging facts regarding my 2 Jugs....But Thanks anyway for the info..jb

 

so what's up ? no conclusion yet ?

 

Some museums respond sometimes, some don’t, Museum employees are sometimes the type that despise private sale of artifacts and resist doing anything to help it. But more often, museums have policies that may limit their services to “free appraisal days” where you must take your artifact there. I’ve had pretty good luck with museums in France and UK, and limited success in Spain.

 

Jacques gave the news in another thread, they are German.

 

Hi to both of you DEVILISH and FID...
I thought I had add a response previuosely reg PrincessHof Museum...??
Yes Mrs Drs Karin Gaillard responded twice to me reg those Bottles.
She did mentioned that the production of such type of stoneware bottles were made from XVIIth cent in Germany..And the Nederlands were at the time one of their main Clients for their Trading Navy Adventures from West to East...The marks are not known as a repertoried one ..But Every Trading Had their own one for..Olive Oil,Anchovies oil Alchool,Spirits and so on different Liquids.This shape of bottles have been done and manufactures in the Netherlands quite later..Around 1800..But were very reconised by their Blue Cobalt decoration....I am very faithful to Mrs Gaillard to have spent time and work to respond...I might receive as well some response reg the VOC Sword...So I have been lucky so far between Drouot Estimations and Princesshof museum...Am still waiting stand by from Goa Museum of Religious antiques...And as well from Netherlands for my Ink Roman Drawing attributed to Theodor Boeyermanns....Will update you accordingly...JB
