The ewer with stirrup handle was discovered in feature 25 during development-led excavations on plots between Hviezdoslavova and Hornopotočná streets. The feature was situated on plot 253 near the western edge of researched area. Ceramics dated mainly to the 13th and the first half of the 14th century was also found there. The ewer has flat bottom and hemispherical body. Stirrup handle with oval cross section is situated on the top of the body. Zoomorphic spouts are remarkable. They have the shape of animal had with erected ears. It can be either pig or bear. Two round openings, at least one was used for pouring the water into the vessel, were placed on the body perpendicularly to the spouts. Both openings are damaged, the rim was not preserved. The surface of vessel is glazed and most of the vessel has the brown- burgundy coloured glaze. Ewers with stirrup handle and zoomorphic spouts were produced in Vienna. The finding from Trnava is therefore unique proof of spreading of table culture and demonstrates the trade contacts and wealth of its owner.
