It has silver mounts round its neck and foot, and was given to the Worshipful Company of Armourers and Braziers in 1537 by the widow of William Vinyard, alias Seger, and still belongs to the Company. Another owl jug, excavated in Cologne on the site of the Maximinenstrasse worshop is in the Kunstgewerbemuseum in Cologne. Although there is no proven link ,it is not impossible that one of these early owl jugs might have inspired the Staffordshire versions. Owl jugs were also made in tin-glazed earthenware with painted decoration in Austria and the Tryol, where they are said to have been made as prizes for archery competitions.referenceterm-106451adlib-term-1064519cdfd62c-ee07-3884-ae08-c797aad0863118th Century, Midreferenceterm-107736adlib-term-107736e93a8dd1-d76d-320b-be9b-afa352e322a1George IIwhitereferenceterm-42825adlib-term-42825858e5d17-b554-33d6-936f-25b16f72f39dstonewareHeightcm21.7referencemedia-44844adlib-media-44844fb8a71b0-8167-3002-a7c9-6306191de6afjpegaa/aa20/C_497_20_26_20A_1928.jpg1heightpixels760widthpixels54917029264908841imagejpegaa/aa20/mid_C_497_20_26_20A_1928.jpg1heightpixels692widthpixels50017029264908841imagejpegaa/aa20/C_497_20_26_20A_1928.jpg1heightpixels760widthpixels54917029264908841imagejpegaa/aa20/preview_C_497_20_26_20A_1928.jpg1heightpixels346widthpixels25017029264908841image0media
