<p>[QUOTE=&quot;say_it_slowly, post: 1680468, member: 50&quot;]So sorry but I haven&#039;t found the shell anywhere yet. I did want to include some information though. In a general way, these jugs seem to have become more simple and less decorated over time. While many are German they were also made in England.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve looked through the references I can think of with German examples and English examples. I&#039;ve&nbsp; added some photos with descriptions.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I think of additional places to look I will. There used to be a site with many Bellarmine type jugs but it seem to be gone.</p><p><br /></p><p>From <i>If These Pots Could Talk </i>by Hume showing a mid 18th C example.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]235835[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>From <i>John Dwight&#039;s Fulham Pottery </i>by Green showing some late 17th C types.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]235836[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]235837[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>From <i>Salt-Glazed Stoneware in Early America</i> by Skerry and Hood, showing some English examples of which I found the tails on the handles especially interesting and quite similar to yours.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]235838[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]235839[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
