Small charming pot designed in the tradition of a Bartmann or Bellarmine jug.
Bartmann jugs were produced in Germany in the 16th and 17th centuries, primarily made of salt-glazed stoneware. They featured a stylised face with a beard. In folklore, this face was typically associated with the European ‘wild man’.
This pot has been created in a heavy cast brass in the same tradition. He has a bulbus belly with raised studding and a pitted texture, giving it a distinct hammered look.
This piece was likely produced in the late 19th or very early 20th century as a heavy decorative collectable or small inkwell.
