This jug as well as lot 79 belong to a group of pieces, that were longidentified as Hamburg faience, created by immigrant Portuguese potters.
According to today's research, however, they are not early testimonies of Hamburg pottery, but original Portuguese pieces, which were imported from Lisbon for the Hamburg market.
In the exhibition 'Lisbon - Hamburg. Faience Imports for the North', the Hamburg Kunst und Gewerbe museum's holdings were reprocessed and classified from this point of view by Dr. Ulrich Bauche and Dr. Johanna Lessmann in 1996.
