		Dippoldiswalde ca.1680, H. 26 
The enamelled and gilded decoration on this pear-shaped jug is enhanced by a very dark brown slip that was used to conceal the lighter reddish-brown of the stoneware beneath. The applied relief shows a courtly gentleman and lady. Quite rare as topic with the full figure. Common were the half bust depictions. (see reference objects below)
