500. LARGE BELLARMINE/ BARTMANN JUG. 10ins tall. Superb
large size jug with quite benign mask featuring an extremely unusual
cartouche which seemingly represents a Bishop’s mitre - never seen
another such? Deeply modelled bearded face to neck. Condition is
superb, super crude, wonderful variating salt glaze, tiny base edge
nibbles (possibly contemporary) but otherwise no damage or restoration
whatsoever. Marine worm encrustations under base indicate recovery
from the sea. 9.8/10 NR. £1200-£1500+
