#EarlyModern#History needs your help! Bartmann / Bellarmine jugs were made in a very specific region of the rhineland between 1500 -1750 to be exported to England & the Netherlands. With colonial expansion they've found there way across the globe. Now an international research projects seeks to establish a comprehensive history & typology of the jugs. So if you have seen one of those shown in the Wanted Foto attached, get in touch with the researchers! @histodons
@Tinido@histodons I know Nicola White, a mudlarker in England, who documents her finds on the Thames, has found a number of fragments. Always neat to see what she manages to spot and pull out of the muck.
@Tinido@histodons She usually documents her finds with the UK's portable antiquities scheme. They have a wonderful searchable database and it looks like they have several hundred fragmentary examples:
