These jars are known in the Netherlands as za/fpollen and belong to the group which includes majolica albarelli, examples of which are illustrated below. They have a red body, similar to the domestic redwares above, and a brown lead-glaze On the inside. Similar items were found in the Amsterdam city excavations (Baart, 1977), and they are traditionally associated with the apothe- cary.
