About MeThis cooking pot was made in the medieval period at a pottery in the Aberdeen area. It would have been used during the medieval period for preparing some meals, including stews and gruel.

Cooking pots are usually undecorated because they are utilitarian items, for use in the kitchen only. This example is unusual as it has a handle.
