I'm not familiar with the ceramic container mentioned, but mead is similar to any wine. Protect it from oxygen and light and store at a consistent cool temperature and it will last as long as you can wait to drink it.
 
A closed bottle should be good for years as long as it remains sealed, but once you break the seal, the clock starts ticking. An opened bottle of wine DOES have a limited shelf life, even if you use the rubber corks where you can use a vacuum pump to suck the air out of the bottle so it doesn't oxidize.
 
Even without opening it, I'm not sure how long Bunratty's will age without deterioration given that it is basically a white wine with some honey added. It probably isn't something that will age for a decade even stored in the best of conditions.
