Jug with three handles and Lady Justice c. 1550 - 1599

This stoneware jug, created by Baldem Mennicken between 1550 and 1599, is a fine example of German Renaissance pottery. The three handles and the depiction of Lady Justice within an oval cartouche are characteristic of the period. The jug’s brown glaze, applied to the white stoneware, reveals the artist's technical skill in creating this functional yet decorative piece. The overall shape of the jug, combined with its intricate details, reflects the artistic trends of the era.
