Beaker, anonymous, c. 1600 - c. 1615
turning, h 16.4cm × w 13.5cm × t 7cm More details
From a distance, this beaker looks like a book bound in leather, but it is a deceptive imitation, complete with book clasps and a handsomely embellished front and back cover, in glazed earthenware. The drink opening is on the top, just behind the book’s spine.
