14th century ceramic jugs/mugs FS

Post by Alric of Drentha »

I made these three jugs last spring and would like to find them a good home.

All three are based off of photographs of Kingston-type wares from the Museum of London's website. They're all dated to the 14th century (or late 13th) and found in the London area.

My jugs are made from stoneware and have a clear glaze (lead free, of course) on the inside to make them easier to wash. The outsides are glazed with wood ashes to imitate a wood firing (mine were fired in a gas kiln). They are all microwave and dishwasher safe.

Here are two of my sources for mugs 1 and 2:

MUG 1 - $25
Height: 5.5"
Capacity: 18oz

MUG 2 - $30
Height: 5.75"
Capacity: 28oz

This mug could hold a large drink or double as a small jug (for, say, a bottle of wine).

JUG 3 - $50
Height: 7.5"
Capacity: 52oz

The originals of this style do not seem to have a pronounced spout. I followed this on my reproduction, and it pours well for the most part if you're careful. If you aren't, liquid can run down the side of the jug beneath the spout (see the third picture down).

Here is a photo of all the jugs together, with a standard sized coffee cup for scale.

Point of information: I have already arranged with Alric to buy the other mug, so it's sold also.

Payment sent.

You should make more ... would make for some good spare spending cash I suspect. Really looking forward to adding these to my encampment gear.

These arrived yesterday and I can't say enough how pleased I am with these. The look and feel of them is very nice. I'd give a 5 on the Freiman scale for communication, price, delivery and quality.

Are you planning to make more of these, Alric? I need to replace a mug I recently lost, and having one appropriate to the 14th century intrigues me. Or a matching jug.

Thank you for the kind words, Iain!

I'm currently between pottery studios until I start my graduate studies in the fall. I'll see about making some more pieces like these once I get back into the swing of things.

Sometimes - this is my stress relief hobby, and I tend to have more fun when I'm not working under a strict expectation of what I'll be producing next. If it's an interesting project I might be interested, with the caveat that I won't be able to start on anything until the fall, and that I'll then be very busy with other things that will be dictating how I spend my time (studying for a PhD in medieval history).
