These lavers and basins were of silver or of pewter according to the means of the owner. Table glass was still something of a rarity though a new fashion was the use of what was called a wine-cellar, fitted with " the haill flaccatis, glass and furneissing thairof. " In one house of the period there were three d...ozen " fyne lame (loam, or earthenware) potis for desertis, " but the employment of china or earthenware for table dishes was not yet intro- duced. The salt-fatt was generally of silver, and it stood in the middle of the table, and the division of the table into " above " and " below the salt " dates from this period and not from mediaeval times, when the dais table was reserved for those of superior rank, and the others sat at side tables.
