Title : Culinary utensils

The containers used to cook and preserve solid or liquid food are all made of ceramics.

Cooking vase

The two most common kinds of ceramics are jugs and cooking vases. Jugs, equipped with a handle and a pouring beak, were containers for liquid food.

Vases are generally bulged, sometimes decorated, and often bear a relief mark of cross or star, which is the signature of the pottery workshop. Their inside surface is sometimes covered with burned food remnants.

Potter stamp

Other objects (such as a ladle with two pouring beaks, a metallic pot hanger to hang containers above the fire, or a large shovel with a burned side letting us know it served to put breads and buckwheat in domestic ovens) prove how well organized the culinary activity was.
