Bellarmines & German Stoneware

[Alex Wright]

Hello, I am a Bellarmine and German Stoneware collector / Author (The Bellarmine and other German Stoneware) from the U.K.

I am interested to learn of any information on finds in the U.S. and the rest of the world. (complete items & decorated fragments).

Regards Alex

Hi Alex,
Due to the lack of responses I would say finding a Bellarmine is a rarity with most on this forum. They are great looking bottles that seem to harkin way back in time to the vikings. If you could let us know about them and their history I know I would be interested. I have only found two broken pieces that do go together(unfortunately I found no more) on a dive in a coastal riverport here in Maine. Im told they are old but would love to know more about their age. Thats about it for that type of find for me and here are the photos. Welcome to the forum.
