How did 1600s pligrims make pots?

Question

I need information on 1600s pilgrims household items or pots and how did the created them or made them? Also who used them and for what?

Answer 1

Clay pots predate the pilgrims. Since they had a kiln, they obviously knew how to fire them.

Cast iron pots also date back that far, but iron is much harder to come by than clay.

Clay pots were made by a potter, who probably used a wheel much like today, except by pedal power instead of an electic motor.

Metal pots would be made by a blacksmith. Imagine hammering a lump of metal into a cauldron by hand.

The pilgrims did not have the food selection or supply that we have today, but basic cooking has not changed all the much. If you can boil water, you can boil eggs, whether in a clay pot on a fire, or in an aluminum pan on a gas stove.

Answer 2

At the Jamestown settlement there was a kiln and glassblower. It has been recreated at the site and people can still see how they were made. I don't really know the specifics of all of it, but I have seen the place. Maybe there is a website about the Jamestown settlement that you could look at for information.
