In the 3 pictures below are Slipware. This is a styling and glazing that is seen in the 17th C. and is really an extention of the 16th C glazing methods. Many of the designs are known today as Pennsyvannia Dutch.
This picture shows the molds from which pewter plates and spoons were cast.
The pictures to the right are the numerous mugs and cups displayed. They span the 16th and 17th C in style. What was fascinating was that so many of them were covered.
Below are 2 pictures of spoons. In the one immediately below the first 4 date to the end of the 16th C and beginning of the 17th C. In the one to its right the first one is 16th C and the next spoon early 17th C. The others are later.
In the picture to the far right below are port and claret bottles and glasses from the turn of the 18/19C. What fascinates me is how small the bottles were. Makes much more believeable the stories of a man finishing off a bottle of claret for dinner and a bottle of port after.
The bottom row are all bits from kitchens. Some items are familiar and some you can guess at, but some were just unbelieveable. The other fascinating thing was the level of specificity for some of the items.
