We are very excited to finally be able to offer (just about) everything you need to set your medieval table with style and grace. All the items in the picture above except the knife (and the food!) are available right now, and more great tableware is on the way. All items are made of leadfree pewter and are safe to eat with. Now would be a great time to upgrade your feastgear - or to help someone else do so.
Out of Stock - Sorry! Our Field Flask is based on both extant examples and iconographic evidence and is of a form typical of flasks (costrels) of the late 14th through the 15th centuries. It is made of lead-free pewter sheet and cast compoents, and has a hemp carrying cord and a wood and cork stopper. It holds about 15 ounces / .44 liters of your favorite beverage. This year's hot item.
Field Flask $150.00
diameter 5 in / 13cm
The Folding Spoon is based on a silver example in the exhibition catalog, The Age of Chivalry. The little beast's head slides down the stalk and over the joint to help keep the spoon open. This is great for traveling; it fits perfectly in your purse or the till of your chest. This year's hot item.

The Candleholder is copied after one now in the Museum of London. The original was probably 14th century. These are supplied with a candle for immediate use.
*Notice*: Like the original, these candle holders
have a small hole in the bottom of the socket 
into
which the candle fits. This is probably a design feature in the original - it
permits you to easily shove the burned-down stub of the candle up out of the socket.
It also, as our testing has demonstrated, permits the last little bit of wick
to fall, together with a puddle of wax to fuel it, onto the table surface, where
it burns merrily. Please, supply some nonflammable barrier, like a bit of aluminum
foil, or a 14th century penny (the solution of one happy customer with numismatic
interests).

The
Needlecase in the shape of a tower is slightly adapted from a 15th C. needle
case from the Netherlands (Schatten) and similar to an English example (MoL, Pilgrim
Souvenirs, fig. 7). It has the names of the Three Kings of Cologne and an invocation
to the Blessed Virgin on the lower part. The upper and lower parts are strung
together on cords, much as contemporary leather etuis are made. This item is tremendously
popular with seamstresses and broidresses. It is a guaranteed winner as a gift
for your favorite medieval needle jockey.
