Beardman jug

Hi there
Any idea when this made and where? Does the chip on the top effects the collecting value much ?

I think it’s North / Eastern European. Similar clay and glaze used in Normandy, Germany, Hungary etc.
I can’t see the chip. It depends how big the it is, and how old the item is. A little glaze chip isn’t going to affect it too much, whereas a chip that includes some of the clay will have a bigger effect. But if it’s old, then collectors expect some degree of wear on it. But if it’s new then Collectors are likely to wait for a perfect piece to turn up

Thans Naomi. Here close-up pics of the damaged area's.
I read that beardmanjugs without any decoration woud be dated after 1580-1600. Coul it be that old or is this a more modern reproduction piece?

I would have said a modern copy but without handling it it’s difficult to be certain

I agree

I think it might have a bit of age i.e. mid 20th century but that still makes it "modern" and so of little value.
