Seller: benjoestuff-1 ✉️ (2,582) 100%, Location: Totnes, Devon, GB, Ships to: EUROPE, Item: 253441350107 Rare Medieval Jug, Excavated Thames London, 15th Century British Green Glaze, 7”.

Great medieval earthenware jug, I would have thought it 15th century, found in the Thames in London. Broken at the neck and repaired, it is a lovely rare piece. It has a shiny green glaze on the upper half, dripping down inside and outside in places. It has a wonderful honesty - quite roughly made but thrown really well - it’s very thin. I’m unsure exactly where this jug was made- I’m sure it would be easy to find out. At the time they were very common pieces of everyday pottery. As they are so fragile, it was rare to find more than small fragments on the river.

Found by another digger at Queenhithe Dock in the Thames in London

Provenance - I have a collection of Roman, Medieval, Tudor and later pottery and artefacts I found in the Thames which I will be selling over the next months so please keep an eye out if you like early pottery (all broken or fragments but interesting and some rare examples).

Condition - broken at neck, 4 upper pieces including the handle re-glued to main body of jug. No other restoration. Chips to glaze as expected

size - approx 17.0 cm or 6 3/4” tall at tallest

Postage and packing
