This 15th century stoneware pitcher comes from Siegburg, a German town near Cologne. From the 14th to the 17th century, Siegburg marketed its famous white stoneware, called Jacoba-Kanne, to which Countess Jacoba of Bavaria (1401-1436) gave her name. Often referred to as 'primitive' stoneware, because these are the first examples of high-temperature ceramic firing (1150°C).
With its elongated, footed shape and lack of decoration, this museum-worthy pitcher is characteristic of this production. Siegburg competed with the neighbouring towns of Raeren and Cologne in the production of stoneware pitchers.
