A 500 year old puzzle jug (1475-1550) (broken) next to my unfinished reconstruction. The question is: how do you drink from this jug? The cross section shows that there's a tunnel hidden in the handle and the neck of the jug. If you close the hole inside the handle (arrow) you can drink without spilling. The last image shows a complete puzzle jug. Same time, same production place (Raeren).

two jugs facing each other. literally, because they have faces, crude but charming faces made with some simple dots of clay and scratches  The one to the left is brown and missing the neck and most of the handle. The one to the left is a light sand color and has an openwork neck and a little spout opposite the handle.The same jugs but both are now facing the camera. They look kind of boredA cross section of the jug, where you can see that there's a tunnel running through the handle, around the neck towards the spout. A tiny hole inside the handle opens up towards this tunnel.A similar jug like the brown one, but this one is complete with openwork neck, spout and handle.

@Tinido I have just reported to the researchers that we found several beardman jugs on the wreck of the VOC ship Avondster, which sank in Sri Lanka in 1659:

@Tinido Interesting post & great Wanted Poster, thank you; will respond to researchers with some dated shipwreck examples.
Also: just followed you but could you please use the language tag on your posts for readers who may wish to filter? When writing for the web version there's a toggle for language at the bottom, DE, EN, etc...
