  Andrea, A very happy woman!! (and rightly so) said:
> So, I got a:
> Hand forged iron trivet for my copper Goosebay pot (got last year)
> Hand forged iron spoon with brass bowl
> Hand forged iron frying pan
Do you have a picture of this frying pan?
>
> and
> 2 gorgeous 1600's eating spoons from England
> 2 1600's Dutch travelling eating sets (fork/knife)
Are these the real thing or copies?
> 1 large fluid container, ceramic, pewter lidded, decorated with knights
> (EBAY)
> 1 leather bellows for my cook fire
> Lessons for throwing my own pots and dishes
