The initials 'IE' are those of the potter Jan Emens Mennicken (1540-93) who took his moulds with him when he migrated from his former workshop at Raeren to the Westerwald region east of the Rhine. His workshop continued to use moulds with his initials for many years after his death. A similarly marked elaborate spouted jug, made two years before the potter's death, is in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, museum no. 805-1868.
