[MR] setting a table

[Sharon Henderson]

Good morrow your Excellency!

Ikea happens to make some lovely blown-glass-type table goblets, about the
size of a modern juice glass, that would work perfectly; Northern Atlantia
is blessed with a HUGE Ikea off 95 in Stierbach (toward fair Sudentorre)
that carries them, or they can be secured by online courier.  :)  I'm sure
there are similar emporia in other parts of the fairest kingdom in the Known
World.

We have documented glass vessels all the way back to at least the Romans,
and there are period inventories (1520s and earlier) showing that the Tudor
monarchs both inherited and purchased glassware of several types.  World
Market stores carry some beautiful green and clear glass goblets of various
sizes and shapes, many of which mimic period shapes.

I'm at work and don't have access to my home links, but hopefully someone
with the info more ready to hand could post links to pictures online of
glass plates, ewers, drinking vessels, and the like?

Also prepping for 12th Night,
Meli :)
