The Chronicle

Everything here was first made to be used

Olde Hansa has kept a merchant’s table at Vana turg since A.D. MMV. What stands on it is what leaves the Shoppe.

A long table laid by candlelight in the hall of Olde Hansa

From the table

The glass and the clay are not ornaments. They are the vessels the kitchen serves from, night after night, in the hall below.

Forest-glass römers of red and white wine by candlelight

By the same hands

Forest glass is blown to medieval patterns. The pots are thrown and fired one at a time, which is why each one carries a name rather than a number.

Two hands holding a clay bowl of honeyed almonds

Carried home

Collect at the door on Vana turg, or let us pack it — fragile things are wrapped for the road before they leave the house.

“The only souvenir of the Old Town that we still use every day.”

“Wrapped in straw and linen; it reached Helsinki unharmed.”
