depends what your 'station' in life is. wooden trenchers and bowls work. As a Sinicized Mongol, porcelain works for me. Monols preferred stemmed goblets, spoons,knives,sometimes chopsticks. I got some nice stainless cutlery at Pennsic with blackened handles. don't recall from whom though.<br>

<div>Comrades,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any recommendations for vendors who make feastware? My tinned 18th century stuff looks way too modern and while 'pewter' alloy stuff is available it may also hew to a much later period. So I figured I'd ask experienced hands before plunking down any money.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Drinking vessels I'd imagine would be pottery but for basic plates and bowls I'd welcome the List's recommendations re: size, materials and makers.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>many thanks,</div>
<div><br>
