We, the pottery masters and apprentices in the market town of Ljutomer
Keywords:
guild, potters, Ljutomer, Ferdinand II., OrmožAbstract
Ljutomer potters frequently struggled with their nosy neighbors from Ormož, who had cleverly expanded their guild’s territory on numerous occasions, including the number of shops (masters), to the detriment of their neighbors from Ljutomer. Conflicts between the two sides often erupted because of product sales at fairs and Kermesses – particularly in the neighboring settlements of Sv. Tomaž, Sv. Miklavž and Kog (at Sv. Bolfenk), which both guilds claimed belonged to them. The symbolic “weight” of the town of Ormož against that of the market town of Ljutomer also played a role in their kerfuffle.
