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 silver reference term-110475 adlib-term-110475 223ae6a7-2f91-3314-ae3c-da3233ae47dc 16th Century, Mid reference term-107139 adlib-term-107139 9fd5ef13-3709-388f-b925-702787340e32 literal England England country probably England reference term-107733 adlib-term-107733 00160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4 lead-glaze reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware Height cm 14.9 Height in 6 1/8 Width in 5 1/8 reference media-49659 adlib-media-49659 da83ae8f-a7ac-3d1c-9632-62a095f83577 jpeg aa/aa7/M_5_1954_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583790900 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/mid_M_5_1954_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742583790900 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/M_5_1954_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583790900 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/preview_M_5_1954_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742583790900 1 image 0 media image reference media-49660 adlib-media-49660 1dc4f09a-302f-3ae6-8a1a-bbc0dd62fe12 jpeg aa/aa7/M_5_1954_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583786734 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/mid_M_5_1954_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742583786734 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/M_5_1954_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583786734 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/preview_M_5_1954_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742583786734 1 image 1 media image reference media-49661 adlib-media-49661 bc11d204-e431-31e4-abee-ffccbc9ba2ae jpeg aa/aa19/M_5_1954_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 586 1742583825850 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/mid_M_5_1954_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 648 width pixels 500 1742583825850 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/M_5_1954_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 586 1742583825850 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/preview_M_5_1954_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 324 width pixels 250 1742583825850 1 image 2 media image reference term-113910 adlib-term-113910 392e7dbc-2eab-3ddc-8884-8e3f89b70ea9 drinking pot jug history note Miss Lilian Coats (d. 1954), Fornethy House, by Aleth, Perthshire; the Executors; sold Christie's, 21 July 1954. . . .
