One day before firing... tomorrow is a hot day for these cups, jugs, bowls, whorls and dishes.
Most of them are replicas made after Roman, late medieval and early modern pottery.

Around the year 2000 26% of Dutch people are living below sea level.

The picture is part of a series entitled "Normal". I made it in 2020. My good friend Kasper posed in the cold water as businessman.

A picture of a young man in suit, steering a car while the water is reaching up to his chin. He is looking rather unimpressed with the situation.

Some pottery I made for Caesar's Ford Theatre in the US. It's now traveling over the Atlantic Ocean. To the right you can see the 17th century pieces that were used for reference.

four pieces of pottery: a redware pitcher, a cauldron and a bowl with green glaze on the inside and a large green cauldron. A large group of archeological pottery and glass with many colors and different shapes. Some pieces are broken of glued together.

I very much need to go there, even if it's just to say hello to the jug that I based this one on, and also to a stag shaped aquamanile. I love creature shaped pottery 😅

The Louvre is a kind of majolica heaven! I visited the museum on Friday and saw this extraordinary pitcher. Dating: 1480. Made in Faenza, Italy.

A wide pitcher glazed in many colors, with the face of a boy sculpted on the belly. He's got yellow hair and a bit of a panicky look on his face. The same pitcher seen from the side

I usually don't do cartoons but this guy makes me so angry. Wilders is a nonsense populist with dangerous xenophobic ideas. Today he took a dump on the Netherlands by dropping out of the Cabinet, blaming others while he was at the steering wheel.

Which piece do you like best?
They are still hot from the kiln. Most of them are replicas of historical originals from the 13th to the 17th century.

Some people think air pockets in pottery are dangerous, but it's really moist💧. Water expands about 1700 times when it turns into steam... you can move a train with that! So, drying your pottery is important. And: firing GENTLY.

The Roman mortarium was used for grinding food. That's why the inside has a rough surface. Below: my replica. Original: Rijksmuseum van Oudheden / dating 1-300 AD /

So much has existed far before the existence of humans. We might consider acting less like masters of our surroundings and more like travelers.

I just replaced the platform of my potter's wheel. The source: a playing card from 1455. 2nd image: my last event at #utrecht (Hanne Hansen Photography).

A selfie with a happy looking straw hat dude in the woods. Behind him there's a true wonder of medieval technology: a potter's wheel that consists of a platform with a kickwheel on top. Same dude but on a market square, using the potter's wheel in medieval attire while some people are watching A medieval image of a female potter working with bare feet on an elegant pot in front of her on the kickwheel. There's a pile of clay in the foreground, some jugs on a shelf in the background, a red shield with a white lion to the left and the name "hefneryn" written above her head

So you would expect that even this special Bartmann jug was made in a series. But I haven't seen another one! Until I made this replica. Now there's a chance for me to continue the Bartmann tradition with series of this dude... and other Bartmann jugs of course!

Although... they were made with moulds! Not one huge mould to cast the whole thing but smaller ones for different details. The jugs themselves where first thrown on the potter's wheel and then decorated with thin sheets of clay that were pressed in those moulds.

Now back to the full body Bartmann jug that I started with. The one with the pewter lid is the original that was probably made between 1525-1550 in Cologne. It's now in the Victoria and Albert museum. Bartmann jugs came in many varieties but this one, with a body and hands, is quite unique.

Here's a typical 17th century Bartmann (replica again). It's angry and it has every reason: in the 17th century, the Bartmann jug is more and more considered a storage jar instead of a prestigious jug to put on the table.
Another bulbous brown glazed jug with narrow neck and narrow foot. The face on the neck is crude and angry. There's a rosette on the belly of the jug.

The Bartmann jug (from German "Bartmann" - bearded man) was especially popular in the 16th century. They came in many varieties, some with only a bearded face, some entirely covered in ornaments and texts. This very happy Bartman would have been common around 1600 (only this is a replica again).
A brown glazed jug with bulbous belly and a wide smile in his enormous beard.

Which Bartmann jug is 500 years old, left or right? This dude is a true masterpiece of 16th century stoneware and I've just finished my first replica.

Two brown glazed jugs besides each other. They look very similar but the right one has a pewter lid. The jugs have a chunky body that actually looks like a body of a man wearing 16th century attire with a little cape and a smock shirt appearing from under his slashed upper garment. He's got arms closely pressed against his body and he's holding a glass and a jug. He's got a small face with a full beard, mustache and curls.

I'm trying out marbling techniques. The two small bowls are finished, the tall bottle is still in progress. The 17th century original in the picture was made in northern Italy. Marbled wares like these used to be shipped far and wide.

#pottery #handmade #pottenbakker #history #archeology #bowl
Small red and yellow bowl on a grey background. The bowl is shiny and the red and yellow colors are whirling around each other, like the colors in marble stone. The same bowl but seen from the side A tall bottle with bulbous belly and for shallow handles along the sides. It is marbled in the same manner but the colors are white and ochre. The bottle is standing on a messy worktable with all kinds of stuff lying around. A tall bottle like the one in the previous pictures, but this one is shiny and red-yellow. It's presented like a museum piece, which it is, on a white background. This bottle is part of the Victoria and Albert museum collection

I just finished this dragon pot. The body and the lid are wheel thrown. All the other details are sculpted by hand. I fired the dragon in my wood kiln at 1250°C.

A lidded pot in the shape of a terracotta colored dragon on four legs. The body is round and has thick spikes on the back. The wings are folded close to the body and the legs are short. The head has two pointy horns on top, ears like those of a cow and a silly and mischievous expression. The same pot but with the lid slightly lifted up by a hand The same pot but seen from the side. Now the spiky tail is visible.

Fresh from the kiln: my first try at a filigree jug! The original jug dates back to 1550-1600 and was found in a potter's waste dump in the Aulgasse in Siegburg. Collection Boijmans van Beuningen.

On a grey background: a cream colored jug with a round belly, small round handle and flaring neck. The belly has been cut open in an elegant rosette-shape like in gothic architecture. Pretty much the same jug but old and a bit more slender.
