About this work

On the body of this jug are three ovals with the Amsterdam coat-of-arms. The jug was thus made especially for use in this city. It was produced for export in the German town of Raeren. In the ovals is the date [15]85. The letters IE stand for its maker, Jan Emens, an important Raeren stoneware pottery maker.
