Bellarmine
3 Attachment(s)
Dear members,
I bought this Bellarmine some days ago.I would date it around 1600.Has someone an idea what's is the meaning of the nine circles you find three times on the jug ? Perhaps someone is able to solve the three letters RVT.? I am curious..... |
Very nice Bellarmine! I have a slightly larger example, but unfortunately damaged. From my research, it appears the early types had the emblems of towns and regions of the Rhineland, but the later types had fictitious decorative markings. The letters, however, could certainly be the initials of the previous owner-
