[Sca-cooks] Puzzle Jugs Forgot To Change the Heading!

[Huette von Ahrens]

My husband, Master Hroar, doesn't make the Exeter puzzle jug, because he really doesn't like
the figures involved.  But he make several other puzzle jugs.

The classic 15th/16th century puzzle jug and the Brill-Boarstall puzzle jug, which is a very
different puzzle jug.

There is an Irish puzzle jug found during an excavation of Dublin Bay which was also very unique
in that it has monkeys swordfighting knights on it.  I have been trying to inspire Hroar to make
one of these, but he hasn't done so yet.

One of our apprentices, formerly Mercy the Potter, now Azekura no Mashi, is working on the Exeter
puzzle jug as I write this.  I will send links to her photos of it when she finishs this project.
