The publication continues the series of books on antique household items and is devoted to tableware, cutlery and table setting rules, table etiquette. It is a collector's and researcher's view of food traditions and culture through objects related to the preparation, serving and consumption of food. With new products, new types of dishes and cutlery appeared, new traditions were formed, and new rules of etiquette were developed. Food is an integral part of human history and culture, and changes in diet and etiquette are often just an echo of deeper processes in the political, cultural, economic and even ideological sphere. The author proposes to look not only at the history of objects, but also at History through objects. The book includes both things forgotten today and things that are commonplace to us but have changed beyond recognition over time.
