Discover a remarkable relic of Europe’s medieval past with this fully authenticated 14th-century tripod glazed pot, excavated in Utrecht, the Netherlands. This rare vessel—distinguished by its three-legged construction, richly burnished interior, and deep reddish-brown glaze—embodies the utilitarian elegance of Roman-influenced medieval ceramics.
Crafted more than 600 years ago, this pot was hand-formed from regional clays, fired in early high-temperature kilns, and finished with an iron-oxide glaze whose warm lustre is still visible today. The tripod base, designed for stability over open hearths, reveals its practical purpose in medieval daily life, while the vessel’s mottled patina, mineral inclusions, and naturally fractured rim attest to centuries spent preserved beneath the Dutch soil.
Artifacts of this type—glazed, tripod-footed, and excavated with verifiable provenance—are exceptionally rare outside museum collections. Its heavy wear, glossy interior basin, and excavation-borne texture make it a culturally significant object for collectors of Roman-influenced pottery, medieval European artifacts, and museum-grade archaeological pieces.
This vessel is a classic example of late-medieval ceramic production in the Utrecht region, dating to the early 1400s. Kilns along the River Vecht produced durable cooking and storage pots like this one, which were widely used throughout Dutch towns and settlements. Surviving examples with intact tripod legs and preserved glaze are increasingly scarce, making this pot a valuable and historically important artifact.
A genuine treasure from the medieval Netherlands—untouched, authentic, and rich with cultural heritage. An exceptional acquisition for the sophisticated collector.
