My simple project, identify sources of mediaeval Cologne trading goods, has now evolved into a fairly large scale research project.

Everything started so well.

The first trading good I looked at was stoneware. Specifically the Bartmann Krug.

Right period, major production centres well with bicycle distance, most of the production centres even have a museum.

But, some of the information shown at the first two museu... zahr.koeln/2026/03/02/my-simpl

I needed to get my hands in clay today. One advantage of many is you can't doom scroll while doing pottery.

My spouse dropped & broke one of the last of a big set of prep bowls I had made over a decade ago, so I decided to throw off the hump. Haven't done that in years, plus I'm coming back to clay after a few months away following surgery in December.

I was really pleased with the 6 small bowls I ended up with. Not identical, but close enough to be a family. :)

6 small bowls thrown off the hump - meaning a large amount of clay is slapped on the wheel and the potter centers a tiny amount at the top to throw the object. It's cut free of the clay lump and the potter does it again. The advantage is you're not centering a tiny amount of clay on its own which is actually difficult.

#RyukyuLT the site of #wakuta is located in the centre of #naha, below the prefectural office, the village was destroyed during the war (ww2) and it's been excavated slowly for years. that's the place where #stoneware production started in the 17th century before it spread to other places all over the island to be finally grouped in #tsuboya by royal decree afterwards.
my company was involved in this excavation campaign but i was busy with other projects and only went and saw once at the …

Ein Gecko! Da habe ich doch schon recht lange suchen müssen. Ist schon eine Weile her, dass ich ihn gemacht habe.
