Often banquets ended with a candied fruits or jams to ‘close’ the stomach and aid digestion, the cooking in honey or later sugar removed the fear of ‘raw’ fruit, as apothecary and confectionery blurred. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the USA, New England settlers preserved fruits with honey, molasses or maple sugar and apple paring supplied the pectin necessary for the setting process. The first documentation of the term jam appear around the late 17th and early 18th centuries, most notably M Eales’s cookbooks, folklore insists this is derived from the French “j’aime”, meaning “I love (it)”, the children’s usual response on tasting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOf course, it doesn't have to be jam within.  The easy-wash glass pot means that all manner of condiments, from mustard to mint sauce, chilli sauce to children's favourite ketchup can be served, depending upon the meal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSize: Height 9 cm, Diameter 10 cm\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWeight: 474 g\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMaterials Used: Pewter, Glass\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRef: CT0095301\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesigners: Enrico Cosi \u0026amp; Sergio Tabellini\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100% Lead Free\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAll Cosi Tabellini Pewter is 100% lead-free, so it is totally food \u0026amp; drink safe, and is both EU and US FDA approved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCosi Tabellini pieces come gift-boxed with a guarantee card and instructions on how to care for pewter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Italian Pewter","offers":[{"title":"Osteria Jam Pot","offer_id":494769181,"sku":"CT0095301","price":97.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0288\/3072\/products\/Cosi-Tabellini-Italian-Pewter-Osteria-Jam-Pot-with-Spoon-009530_1.jpg?v=1408980479"},{"product_id":"polaris-pewter-compass-6-5-cm-handcrafted-in-italy","title":"Polaris Desk Compass - 6.5 cm Diameter - Handcrafted in Italy - Pewter \u0026 Glass","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe compass, one of the most fascinating of instruments, and Cosi Tabellini have crafted a desk version, cradled within a solid pewter base and frame, with a \u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2;\"\u003eclassically-inspired face, denoting the four cardinal points - North, East, South and West - allowing one to navigate.

If we are to believe this, then the compass appeared as early as 2634 BC, the year in which the Emperor Huang-ti fought and won a battle against rebels making use of these chariots to guide his troops against the enemy through a thick fog. However, for the skeptics, or realists among us, the first real evidence that the Chinese used the compass during the Han Dynasty between the second Century BC and first Century AD.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese first compasses were made of lodestone, which is a type of naturally magnetic iron ore called magnetite, which when suspended turns freely, always resting in the same direction, aligning itself toward the magnetic poles. These first compasses were used for to source precious stones, fortune telling, and deciding on the position of a house, all ancient forms of harmonising with the environment - in fact an early form of Feng Shui. The first instance in which a compass seems to have been used to navigate is contained in a book entitled\u003cem\u003e P'ing-chou-k'o-t'an\u003c\/em\u003e which dates back to about the end of the eleventh Century, during the innovative Song Dynasty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has also been thought that the compass was invented by the Islamic world around the thirteenth Century, a theory supported by the fact that at that time they enjoyed unchallenged superiority in the scientific field and were highly skilled in the art of navigation, and it can be seen that around this time they were linking compasses to astronomy.

About 150 AD, Ptolemy discovered certain fundamental repetitive optical phenomena concerning the refraction of light and wrote extensively on the subject. During the 12th Century, only some magnification systems were known. These made use of simple pieces of concave or convex glass that did not give a real picture of things. They were not widely used because they distorted reality. The first documentary evidence of lenses being used to correct eyesight dates back to 13th Century Europe. Basing themselves on the theories of the Arab mathematician, Alhazen, medieval monks invented the so-called \"reading stone\" which they used to transcribe old books. This mainly consisted of rock crystal. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe first person to describe the use of lenses to improve eyesight was Roger Bacon in 1262. He made various experiments with lenses and mirrors and described the principles of reflection and refraction. Roger Bacon was admired and protected by Pope Clement IV, but when the Pope died he had to continue his studies in secret. He was discovered, accused of heresy and put in prison. When he was eventually released, he continued his experiments but 300 years went by before Snellius formulated the laws of refraction between 1600 and 1620.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSize: Length 17 cm\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWeight: 207 g\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMaterials Used: Pewter\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRef: CT0100301\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesigners: Enrico Cosi \u0026amp; Sergio Tabellini\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100% Lead Free\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAll Cosi Tabellini Pewter is 100% lead-free, so it is totally food \u0026amp; drink safe, and is both EU and US FDA approved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCosi Tabellini pieces come gift-boxed with a guarantee card and instructions on how to care for pewter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Italian Pewter","offers":[{"title":"Tolomeo Magnifying Glass","offer_id":495198249,"sku":"CT0100301","price":80.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0288\/3072\/products\/Cosi-Tabellini-Italian-Pewter-Tolomeo-Magnifying-Glass-010030_1.jpg?v=1435146798"},{"product_id":"lucca-pewter-glass-salt-mill-17-cm-handcrafted-in-italy","title":"Lucca Salt Mill - 17 cm Height - Handcrafted in Italy - Pewter \u0026 Glass","description":"\u003cp\u003eHumble salt has long been an highly important product, not only is it an essential mineral within a healthy balanced diet – a twist of sea salt in cooking is the simplest way of meeting this balance – it has been an invaluable way of preserving food down the millennia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBuying as a gift?

Another suggestion is simply that the glass is tall or \"high\" and that the type of drink usually served was a \"ball\" of whiskey, as the spirit is seen as a ‘ball of fire’, especially true in Ireland, where a ‘ball of malt’ was a standard drink order in the 19th Century Dublin. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe golden era of the original Highball seemed to be the post-war years until the 1950s; after prohibition there were not many ‘aged’ spirits to be savoured, so younger spirits were spruced up with carbonated mixers, such as soda, ginger ale and the like, in a highball format.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese attractive pewter-based crystal highball glasses are part of the \u003ca title=\"Sirmione\" href=\"http:\/\/italian-pewter.co.uk\/collections\/cosi-tabellini-sirmione-range\"\u003eSirmione\u003c\/a\u003e range of glassware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSold in pairs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSize: Height 16 cm\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWeight: 1100 g per glass\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVolume: 33 cl\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMaterials Used: Pewter, Crystal Glass\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRef: CT0119701\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesigners: Alberto Tabellini \u0026amp; David Reiss\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100% Lead Free\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll Cosi Tabellini Pewter is 100% lead-free, so it is totally food \u0026amp; drink safe, and is both EU and US FDA approved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCosi Tabellini pieces come gift-boxed with a guarantee card and instructions on how to care for pewter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Italian Pewter","offers":[{"title":"Sirmione Highball Glass (Pair)","offer_id":501054805,"sku":"CT119701","price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0288\/3072\/products\/Cosi-Tabellini-Italian-Pewter-Sirmione-Highball-Glass-011970_1.jpg?v=1435145868"},{"product_id":"barolo-martini-glasses-30cl","title":"Barolo Martini Glass (Set of 2) - 30 cl - Handcrafted in Italy - Pewter \u0026 Crystal","description":"\u003cp\u003eClassic Martinis, be they made with vodka or the more traditional gin, served with olive or a twist, and either shaken, à la Bond, or stirred, these iconic drinks deserve equally iconic vessels; and Cosi Tabellini \u003ca title=\"Barolo glassware\" href=\"http:\/\/italian-pewter.co.uk\/collections\/cosi-tabellini-barolo-glassware-range\"\u003eBarolo\u003c\/a\u003e martini glasses are just that, combining the charm and solidity of pewter, with the shine of the crystal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBuying as a gift?

Today in France, the word ‘cervoise’ is semantically limited to just barley beer.  Cervoise derives from the Latin word ‘\u003cem\u003ecervisia\u003c\/em\u003e’ (also known as \u003cem\u003ecervesia\u003c\/em\u003e in some manuscripts), which the Romans applied to an old Gallic drink made from wheat fermented with honey.  There is some conjecture as to whether the word ‘cervisia’ derives from the ancient Roman goddess of agriculture, Ceres, who was credited with the discovery of spelt wheat and from where the word ‘cereal’ originates from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese Cervoise beer \u0026amp; cider glasses are complemented by many others within the Cosi Tabellini glassware range, each handcrafted by Italian pewterers; all high quality glass, with solid tactile pewter stems, to enhance your drinking experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSize: Height 21 cm\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVolume: 55 cl\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMaterials Used: Pewter, Glass\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRef: CT0098701\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesigners: Enrico Cosi \u0026amp; Sergio Tabellini\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100% Lead Free\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll Cosi Tabellini Pewter is 100% lead-free, so it is totally food \u0026amp; drink safe, and is both EU and US FDA approved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCosi Tabellini pieces come gift-boxed with a guarantee card and instructions on how to care for pewter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Italian Pewter","offers":[{"title":"Botticino Cervoise Beer Glass","offer_id":539404497,"sku":"CT0098701","price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0288\/3072\/products\/Cosi-Tabellini-Italian-Pewter-BOTTICINO-Beer-Glass-009870_1.jpg?v=1508412022"},{"product_id":"tosca-large-brandy-snifter-glass-57-cl","title":"Tosca Large Brandy Snifter - 57 cl - Handcrafted in Italy - Pewter \u0026 Crystal Glass","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Tosca pewter \u0026amp; crystal large Brandy Snifter is the ideal vessel for enjoying a glass of your favourite brandy after dinner, relaxing in front of an open fire while the worries of the world fade into the background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBuying as a gift?
