Avraham asked:
---------
Does anyone have recommendations on sources for period (or
period-appearing) tableware? I've been relying on Chris for feast gear,
but I think I should be thinking about getting my own, and don't want to
break the bank doing it.
---------
There are some general ideas and sources (thrift shops are
wonderful) in this file in the FEASTS section of the
Florilegium:
feastgear-msg (26K) 5/ 9/00 Obtaining feastgear for use in the SCA.
cleaning wooden feastgear.
For more details on period tableware, check these files in the
FOOD-UTENSILS section:
forks-msg (23K) 4/13/01 Period forks. history and use in Europe.
p-tableware-msg (47K) 4/11/01 Period tableware. Period references
spoons-msg (17K) 12/17/01 Period spoons. References. Construction.
tablecloths-msg (11K) 8/30/00 Period tablecloths. SCA feast tablecloths.
utensils-msg (166K) 4/11/01 Utensils, plates, trenchers, cast iron pots.
aquamaniles-msg (10K) 3/ 2/00 Fancy period jugs to hold water for washing.
(plus others).
You might also consider using trenchers. See this file in the
FOOD-BREAD section:
trenchers-msg (32K) 12/15/00 Wooden and bread trenchers. Plates.
I hope this helps you get started.
