When biking to the train station I saw this mysterious scene - so I turned back home, got my camera and wandered around until I captured this image.
The artprint is now available in a limited edition of only five signed and numbered pieces.

YouTube video by V. Birchwood I Tried Medieval Pottery

I was visited by V.Birchwood for this video. You get to see the production process of a stoneware cup - from kickwheel to wood kiln. The video also contains an interview. These sessions turned out to be a good moment to reflect on trial and error.

Comparable facejugs are usually dated between 1470 and 1550. I wouldn't dare to date a piece more specifically without a finding context.
I understand that the experts in the show have to know a lot about a huge range of items, so these remarks are not meant as critique.

The production region of the "puntneuskruik" is Aken and Raeren. The jugs were often made with a pinched foot, but a flat base wasn't particularly uncommon.

The historian in the show doubts that the jug was found in an Amsterdam canal. I would say it's not unlikely, since many comparable pieces have been found in Amsterdam (including the one I own myself).

Yesterday this facejug was on Dutch television. I would like to add and correct a couple of things, see comment section.

You can watch the show here. The fragment with the facejug is 15:53 - 20:25

Westerwald stoneware can be found in 17th century paintings, like the cheerful drinker by Judith Leyster. The jug is from Museum Rotterdam. In the frieze the letters: "H" and "K" (initials of the mould maker?). The jug was made in the beginning of the 17th century.

I was visited by V.Birchwood for this behind the scenes video. Watch me fail at making a proper replica - a good moment to reflect on trial and error.

thank you!

beautiful glaze!

Ammersoyen Castle had a series of interesting residents. I'm working on a display with their family crests, based on armorials from the 14th and 15th centuries. The shields will be part of the new set-up in the castle museum.

"The Pancake Bakery" by Pieter Aertsen, 1560, oil on panel, Boijmans van Beuningen Museum

Pancake time!

I've been buying medieval replicas again... I can't resist!
This time a Trivet made by Kloosterhuis ( www.smederijkloosterhuis.nl ) and a frying pan made by @atelierable.bsky.social
I guess this means I have to record a video of me making pancakes on an open fire one of these weeks :)

Would a medieval fire cover have looked like this after one year of use?
This replica by #atelierable was used by @fakehistoryhunter.net , protecting her home against sparks and preventing her cats from lying down in the hot ashes.

Some new things I recently made - mostly painted majolica and redware. These are replicas of both medieval and early modern pieces. Do you want to know something about a specific piece? Let me know in the comments!

The straw I use for shipping pottery is, to some, more welcome than the pottery itself :)

Got a new medieval replica mug from my potter atelierable.nl.
Yay, I can get properly drunk again!

I asked Atelier Able to make me another replica, this time a very special unique little thingy based on something that was found just a few months ago!!

gaaf ontwerp!

I had a lot of fun at Lynn Museum today presenting Tudor music and dance to the fab 'regular' Home Educators' group!

We listened, sang and danced: one of my favourite sessions. 🙂

Thank you :) They are in the kiln right now. Always exciting!

Such a kind comment! Thank you very much :)

One day before firing... tomorrow is a hot day for these cups, jugs, bowls, whorls and dishes.
Most of them are replicas made after Roman, late medieval and early modern pottery.

A picture of a young man in suit, steering a car while the water is reaching up to his chin. He is looking rather unimpressed with the situation.

Around the year 2000 26% of Dutch people are living below sea level.

The picture is part of a series entitled "Normal". I made it in 2020. My good friend Kasper posed in the cold water as businessman.

four pieces of pottery: a redware pitcher, a cauldron and a bowl with green glaze on the inside and a large green cauldron.

A large group of archeological pottery and glass with many colors and different shapes. Some pieces are broken of glued together.

Some pottery I made for Caesar's Ford Theatre in the US. It's now traveling over the Atlantic Ocean. To the right you can see the 17th century pieces that were used for reference.

I very much need to go there, even if it's just to say hello to the jug that I based this one on, and also to a stag shaped aquamanile. I love creature shaped pottery 😅

A yellow plate with a scratched drawing of a beaver in the middle, floating in the middle of a floral pattern of curling leaves.

A plate that I recently designed and made for my girlfriend.

A wide pitcher glazed in many colors, with the face of a boy sculpted on the belly. He's got yellow hair and a bit of a panicky look on his face.

The same pitcher seen from the side

The Louvre is a kind of majolica heaven! I visited the museum on Friday and saw this extraordinary pitcher. Dating: 1480. Made in Faenza, Italy.
