Note du spécialiste


A krug with a ropetwist handle and very similar dentil border on the neck is illustrated by Karl Koetschau, Rheinisches Steinzeug, Munich, 1924, no. 5, where it is attributed to Frechen. Two krugs with similar moulded panels in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, are illustrated by David Gaimster, German Stoneware 1200-1900, London, 1997, pp. 214 and 216, nos. 55 and 57, col. pl. 13, where they are attributed to Cologne. Another example moulded with the arms of England is in the Bristih Museum (museum no. 1854,0726.1).
