Up to now for me the history India was primarily connected with the british empire.But evey day you learn something new.Masses of Ballarmines were sold from the Rhinelands ,where they were made,over the Netherlands to England.Lot's of goods like vine,beer,oil or even mercury were shipped in these jugs,because they were very stable.In many shipwrecks of these times they are found worldwide.Most jugs which are shown in books or www are found in central Europe ( Germany,Netherlands,Belgium ) or England.Therefore India was not my first choice to find one.
