In such circumstances it would seem to me that glass would be an appropriate
material for some objects and gold and silver or at least silver and gold
inlay for others.  Additionally pottery that is unique, puzzle jugs and
puzzle mugs, would be at hand as well.  There are examples of such in "Fast
and Feast".
