Distillation Ceramics from Prague Castle, Czech Republic
Original language description
Archaeological excavations conducted at Prague Castle produced finds of several ceramic vessels used in chemical processes on distillation apparatuses. All of these finds were made at the beginning of archaeological excavations at Prague Castle in the 1920s. This specifically concerns a portable kiln and a cucumber. The collection of the distillation vessels includes a distilling cap (alembic), two bowls, and two domes which, given their dimensions, could have belonged to a single apparatus. These specific ceramic forms from several points of view are presented. The first is their functional use, including their depiction in iconographic sources. We will also raise the question of the social standing of the possible owners of these finds. A vital part of the study is a brief presentation of the results of chemical analyzes of some of these finds.
