Object Registration ID: 114

Background Information:
This group of three small post-medieval ointment jars dates to the 17th century and represents utilitarian ceramic containers used in domestic, medical, and commercial contexts during the early modern period. The vessels are wheel-made in red earthenware and display slightly flaring rims, compact bodies, and traces of glaze on some examples, typical of practical pottery produced throughout the Netherlands and neighbouring regions during the Dutch Golden Age.
Small jars of this type were commonly used for storing ointments, medicinal salves, cosmetics, pigments, spices, herbal mixtures, and other valuable substances required in daily life. Apothecaries, travelling merchants, physicians, and households all relied upon durable ceramic containers for the storage and preparation of medicinal and household products. Interior glazing helped protect the porous earthenware from liquids and oils while improving hygiene and preservation.
During the 17th century, the Dutch Republic developed into one of Europe’s leading commercial powers, with imported medicinal ingredients, spices, dyes, and luxury goods arriving through extensive maritime trade networks. This expanding trade economy increased the demand for practical ceramic vessels in pharmacies, workshops, kitchens, and urban households. Pottery workshops responded by producing large quantities of affordable utilitarian wares adapted to a wide range of everyday functions.
The visible wheel-turning marks, slight asymmetry, and variations in glaze and firing demonstrate authentic hand-crafted production methods characteristic of post-medieval earthenware manufacture. Comparable ointment jars and apothecary vessels have been excavated from urban archaeological contexts throughout the Netherlands, including domestic refuse pits, market areas, and former pharmacy sites.
These vessels provide a direct and tangible connection to everyday life in the 17th century, where ceramic jars such as these formed part of the practical material culture of households, trade, and medicine during the post-medieval period."
