German Bartmann Jug (SOTLS : A1964.34)3D ModelNoAI
This salt glazed Bartmann jug (also known as a Bellarmine jug) was produced in the 16th and 17th century primarily in the German town of Cologne. A Bartmann is distinguishable by the bearded man on the side of the neck of the jug. They were called Bellarmine jugs because Bellarmine, a Catholic priest, was averse to drinking. As an act of defiance, protestants would use his likeness on their drinking utensils.
The jug has been laser scanned as part of a collaborative project between Southampton Cultural Services and the Department of Archaeology at the University of Southampton.
The jug is on display at Sea City Museum in the Gateway to the World gallery https://seacitymuseum.co.uk/exhibitions/gateway-to-the-world/.
