The source for my reproduction early wine bottle was Period Design. There is no website but they were located at 401 Maine St, Yorktown, VA. Phone number 757-886-9482. My bottle was acquired many years ago.
Redware Cooking Pot (Large Pipkin)
The source of the two Redware Cooking Pots or Large Pipkin (pictured in my post of the same name) were made by Julia Smith.
Batter Jug
The stoneware batter jug (pictured in The Jug blog post) was made by Rowe Pottery Works.
Hemisperical Kettle
This kettle is a reproduction of a Dutch original dated circa 1550-1650 researched by the Goebel’s of Goosebay Workshop to be in rather common use for 200 years.
Plate Cover Copper
I have had several inquiries as to what the copper piece is that I am holding in my blog post Wyck’s Food Festival (posted 6/24/2011) that I used to cover the food. That piece is a reproduction of a 1500-1650 original plate cover made by Peter Goebel of Goosebay Workshops. The piece worked perfectly for the samples.
Royal Selangor Pewter
Many years ago now, I found (just browsing in a mall) a reproduction of a tulip pewter plate that had a Victoria and Albert symbol on it. I almost did not purchase the plate but I am very happy that I did as I have used it so often. The plate is still available from Royal Selangor Pewter. Each plate is marked with the Royal Selangor tradmark, the V & A logo, and the year of manufacture in Roman numerals. The date on my plate is MCMXCVI.
Old Sturbridge Village Museum Store
I always check the tinware section of the Old Sturbridge Village (OSV) Museum Store when I visit OSV. Another one of my “great finds” was the tinware baker that is pictured in my blog post Men of Sorghum in Honor of Lincoln.
Plimoth Reproduction Pottery

One of my stops to and from my home state of Maine, has been Plimoth Plantation. I am always delighted with my reproduction finds there. The redware grisset that I am using in my blog post For a Hare comes from Plimoth and I have used it for many years now. A great find!
Goosebay Workshops
You can find Peter Goebel’s fine reproduction copperware featured in many movies, historic sites, and in use when Heart to Hearth Cookery conducts classes and demonstrations. He designed the cake hoop and baking sheet for use at Pennsbury Manor in 2000 and my chocolate bean roasters in 2001.

Julia has a large selection of wonderful redware and the large pipkin used in my blog entry, Starting Spring with a Hearth Cooking Class, is one of Julia’s pieces. I use a number of her pieces in my demonstrations and classes. Visit Julia’s website www.juliasmith.com
John Hudson-Clayptter
When I visited John Hudson, in Mirfield, West Yorks, England, I was so amazed at the simple kiln that John used to fire his masterpieces. The chaffing dish that I used in my blog post Too Stew Larks was created by the master potter, John. It is a beauty just as are all the other pieces of his pottery that I use in my demonstrations.
