Summary
| Description |
From the late 17th to the 19th century the Donyatt potters produced a series of vessels solely for amusement: puzzle jugs and fuddling cups. With both, the u uninitiated had to attempt to drink the contents. The jugs have holes in the neck, the only way to drink the contents without spilling is to suck on the spout which is connected to the bowl by a hollow rim and handle. Photograph was taken in the Somerset County Museum in Taunton on 29-Oct-05. |
