round(-)bottom Explanation: Either round bottom, round-bottom or round-bottomed. I think you could probably get away with 'with rounded bottom' as well, but with a 'rounded jar' already that'll be a bit repetitive. The Wikipedia translator for Pingsdorf Ware used 'lensoid', but that seems to be rather for mining and things. Not 100% sure, though. |

convex-bottomed Explanation: Although culinary ware was relatively inexpensive, it was important to take care of it. According to Theodora Stoudios, if a monk broke an earthenware pot during a meal, their negligence condemned them to three hundred penitential prostrations or to standing at the entry of the refectory, holding the fragments of the pot in their hands. Two methods of cooking fresh meat and poultry coexisted in Byzantium: sophisticated methods, such as roasting and grilling, and boiling and stewing. When boiling food, the earthenware pots (tsoukka, tsoukalion, and chytra) were sealed with a cover (épikythrion) or hermetically sealed with paste. Eustathius of Thessalonica mentions a recipe, in which boiled chicken simmers with a sauce in a covered pot. Fish and vegetables were also cooked in pots to make stock. The tsoukalia comprised cooking pots, without or with only one handle and a flat bottom, and convex-bottomed pots with two handles and globular bodies, which were bigger. http://www.qantara-med.org/qantara4/public/show_document.php... http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=4iew_THp8foC&pg=PA48&lpg=... http://www.kaogu.net.cn/html/en/Publication/New_books/2013/1... |
