Dishes

My best friend is a potter. She can make anything I ask. Over the years she has made my boys bowls, plates, mugs with faces, bottles and beaker shaped cups. I have been very spoiled and I did not make any of the dishes that my son uses. My research indicated that pottery cups were pretty rare on the Mary Rose. A ship is not stable enough to use such a breakable item. Leather bottles and wooden cups seem to have been the drinking cups of choice. In the past I have made a leather drinking bottle as an Arts and Sciences class project. It has a beeswax and pine pitch lining, which will melt in a hot car. The leather drinking bottle usually stays home and a set of short green breakers are used at events.
