Welcome to Bartmann Goes Global

Bartmann Goes Global is a collaborative research project between the UK and Germany, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG).

We're exploring the international reach of these iconic stoneware jugs and collecting examples of Bartmann jugs found around the world. If you have one in your archive or collection, we'd love to hear about it. Share your jug with us today and help transform our understanding of the Bartmanns' global cultural and historical importance.
