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).

@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...
