Historical context | Note in Register: Stated by Prof. K. Csanyi of the Budapesth Museum to be of Proskau faience (19 Jan.1931). This view is almost certainly erroneous; the jug must be of Crailsheim faience, see Gretsch (Refs.). Note in Register: In the opinion of Mon. Paul Berendt, made at Lenzburg (June 1954). Swiss in the opinion of the above in July 1974. |
