Abstract
The article discusses changes in production and the of the pottery used in towns in Pomerelia in the early-modern period. These considerations are based on advanced research on late-medieval pottery-making of the region and the relatively poorer state of knowledge about the continuity of transformations at the beginning of the early-modern period. The vantage point for this study is a characterisation of the source base, including both the artefactual and written evidence. This enables the tracing of changes, and characteristic features of goods used, in the 16th century.
Highlights
The 16th century was a time of significant cultural changes occurring throughout Europe
This article aims to characterise the pottery production and the assortment of ceramic goods used in Pomerelian towns in the early-modern period
Source basis for the research Compared to the material described above, the source base enabling characterisation of Pomerelian pottery-making in the 16th century is only slightly less voluminous, but it has certain shortcomings
Summary
The 16th century was a time of significant cultural changes occurring throughout Europe These transformations were heralded, as evident already at the end of the late Middle Ages, by the dissemination of Renaissance ideas, including the Reformation, as well as developments in material living conditions of the people, for instance in construction technology or assortments of handicraft products available. These aspects fuelled cultural change within different social strata and impacted the formation of the modern society. The exact influence of these processes on the subject of research remains vague
