Early Modern Period Pottery from Belgrade: Production and Consumption Models

Abstract

Pottery from the Baroque-style Belgrade will be analyzed, both cooking and table vessels, as well as their production characteristics and standards related to size and shape. The occurrence of the pottery is associated with Austrian rule. The material is a telling example of the use of pottery as 'military ceramics', showing a specific consumer choice. Contrary to the completely uniform cooking pots, based on the Central European ceramic tradition, table vessels illustrate the style of the time, represented with several decorative (painted) groups, including the Anabaptist (Haban) pottery.
