Kitchen utensils and storage containers have never conformed to fashion, as they serve a utilitarian purpose, after all. Mostly
made of copper, bronze, or lead, or finished in some form of ceramic material, decorated with secular and religious motifs,
containers from both Europe and elsewhere were also eye-catchers in the kitchens, cellars, and pantries concerned.
