The medallion closely resembles the floral medallion o f the cordon j u g (BA T
2304), but the flower is replaced by a ball motif, similar to the central medallion of the bowl (BAT 2580-20234-2128). The centre of the medallion is a flower- like design, consisting o f a single ball encircled by six balls. This is surrounded by a double concentric ring with small dots in-between. Surrounding this, is an- other series o f six flower-like designs arranged symmetrically. Whilst the exact type ofjug that this medallion belongs to cannot be identified, it is assumed that it is a cordon type.

This jug fragment with part of a
medallion shows the Arms ofPhilip of Spain. Unfortunately, it is not possible to identify the exact ruler. The medallion has an unidentified maker's mark in the top left-hand corner and the figures '23' in the top right-hand corner indicating the date 1623.
The jug has no sprigged medallions, but it has instead a symmetrical pattern of stamped flowers on the main body below the frieze and incised groove. The stamping is rather crude and badly-fmished. In some cases, the stamping has dented the body of the jug.
