It began in Court circles and spread gradually to the country gentry, prosperous yeomen and merchants. In 1558 Etienne Perlin noted in his 'Description of England' that the English drank great quantities of beer, not 'out of glasses, but from earthern pots with silver handles and covers, and this even in houses of persons of middling fortune'. Most of these pots are of brown salt-glazed stoneware from the Rhineland or coloured tin-glazed earthenware from the Low Countries. Their silver covers and mounts which protected the edges and gave them a more luxurious appearance, were made in London or a few other towns, such as Exeter and Norwich. Brightly coloured Isnik pottery jugs imported from Turkey were also treated in this way (see M.16.-1948). Mounted lead-glazed earthenware pots, which were probably made in England, are less common. This example shows the squat, short-necked form popular during the mid-sixteenth century. A taller pot in the Victoria and Albert Museum has mounts with London hallmarks for 1546-47.no marker's or hallmarks on the silverreferenceterm-110475adlib-term-110475223ae6a7-2f91-3314-ae3c-da3233ae47dc16th Century, Midreferenceterm-107733adlib-term-10773300160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4lead-glazereferenceterm-42861adlib-term-428615b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956cearthenwareHeightcm14.9Heightin6 1/8Widthin5 1/8referencemedia-49659adlib-media-49659da83ae8f-a7ac-3d1c-9632-62a095f83577jpegaa/aa7/M_5_1954_281_29.jpg1heightpixels740widthpixels57016162808649101imagejpegaa/aa7/mid_M_5_1954_281_29.jpg1heightpixels649widthpixels50016162808649101imagejpegaa/aa7/M_5_1954_281_29.jpg1heightpixels740widthpixels57016162808649101imagejpegaa/aa7/preview_M_5_1954_281_29.jpg1heightpixels325widthpixels25016162808649101image0media
