Stoneware , salt-glazed. pottery, beer, jug. Rearen, Germany - (Valonia) (1500-1550)

" Vessels made by stoneware potters in Raeren, a town in present-day Valonia - Belgium / Germany, appear glossy brown because they were washed with iron oxide before being fired at a high temperature in a salt glaze kiln. By the mid-1580s, Raeren potters began producing vessels decorated with cobalt blue on gray fabric. Due to political unrest in the 1590s, many prominent Raeren potting families moved to the Westerwald region, and there they produced the same forms with decorations using molds they had previously used in Raeren.
