This jug is an example of the new stoneware forms that arose in Raeren during the second half of the 16th century. The body of this jug is less globular and more cylindrical in shape. Incised lines decorate the lower body and shoulders. The relief with the Four Evangelists on the belly of the jug is based on contemporary prints.
