Thank you so much for this information. I have been intensively pouring over
14th century manuscripts for illustrations of garden design/planting
information and my responce was focused oin that time period. You are
correct. Different time periods used different containers. There are even
smaller decorative urns shown in the 14th century illuminations as herb plant
containers. <sigh> So much to learn ....so little time. :-(
