mrsbrownOn the weekend, I commented to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mr_bassman that it would be nice to replace the water jug we use at SCA events with something nicer and more period. He replied that we should wait until our current jug broke.
Then, as I picked it up to pack it after Monthly Bash it broke. I wasn't trying.
Anyway, now I want a new one and I'd really like such a thing for christmas. I'm looking for the sort I want and I've also found a few nifty sites while I'm at it. They're at the bottom.
I'm looking for a 15th century style jug, like these ones
On the other hand, unbreakable would be good and only € 99.00
Contiuing with the unbreakable theme; take a look at the jug in the background of this painting , I like the sticky out bits.
There are some jugs in the background here too and Salome's dinner presentation of St John's head has some too, but I need to look at the picture in my book for that one, the ones on the web are crap.
Aren't these nifty, they're/it's from Memling's painting, "Virgin and Child Enthroned" and "Flower Still-life"
And there are some more metallic jugs in "January" by the Limbourg Brothers
Here's the stuff I found while looking for jugs.
This site sells real medieval stuff, including broken pottery
So does this one, the key word seems to be "antiquities". I like this jug, but I don't think I'd ever be game to use it.sjkasabi, Is this the sort of cooking pot you've been talking about? Also, I think this would look great in the middle of the Abbotsford campsite.
I also found a thesis which includes a chapter of medieval clay floor tiles
You could spend a very long time looking at pottery stuff here, It's the Museum of London ceramics and glass collection
