Re: Bellarmine Jug
ebay sellers use the word Bellarmine when selling any old saltglaze pots,presumably in the hope it will attract the rich Bellarmine collectors

Re: Bellarmine Jug
One would presume that rich Bellarmine collectors would know their Bellarmines.
Bellarmine-style jug would be better description, otherwise it would be like me describing my Desimone-style Italian olive oil bottle as a Desimone olive oil bottle.

Re: Bellarmine Jug
Does look close enough to be fairly sure unfortunately
Don't worry about getting one wrong mate, I've lost count of the things I've got wrong
Still an interesting piece, my guess would be continental, maybe made for the higher end tourist trade, but no idea where.
I don't think you overpaid anyway, had you bought it at the price of an early one you'd be kicking yourself a lot harder
