During archaeological excavations conducted by the Museum of Archaeology and History in Elbląg in 2022, a grey stoneware jug with a tin lid, decorated with cobalt and appliques, was discovered in a latrine on the plot at 26 Bednarska Street. The most important decorative element among them was the arcade frieze placed on the largest curve of the belly. There are visible male busts placed under the arcades, alternating with female ones and coats of arms. The beginning of the frieze is the manufacturer's mark with his initials - IEM, while under the last arcade the date is perceptible - 1587. The manufacturer's mark and his initials allow us to identify this jug as a product of Ian Emens Menneken. The analysis carried out allows us to identify the first couple with a high degree of probability as King Henry III of France and his wife Louise of Lorraine. The second couple (with a damaged male image) is probably Philip II of Habsburg, King of Naples and Sicily in the years 1554-1598, ruler of the Netherlands in the years 1555-1598, King of Spain in the years 1556-1598 and of Portugal in the years 1580-1598 (as Philip I) and his wife Anna of Austria (Anna von Österreich). Finally, the third couple are the rulers of Poland – Stefan Batory, King of Poland iure uxoris from 1576, who died in 1586 – hence the year before the jug was created, and his wife Anna Jagiellon, crowned ruler of Poland in 1575. The described stoneware jug by Ian Emens Menneken was probably owned by Johann Jungschultz, a trustee who became mayor in 1579, Vogt in 1555, and councillor for the first time in 1560. He died on July, 26 1597 (the funeral took place on July, 28 1597), and the plot at 26 Bednarska Street remained in the hands of his family probably until around the mid-17th century, perhaps until the death of his son, also Johann, in 1630. The Jungschultz family belonged to the patrician families of Elbląg, of which there were about 28-30 in the 16th century. In the first half of the 17th century, their number decreased to 15-18 families, among them still the Junschultz family. It is assumed that it was this family that led to the reconstruction of the Gothic tenement house into the Renaissance one.
