Description

Frying-pan - sartago in Latin - of local manufacture, made in imitation of the Italian productions of cooking ware. It is small, with slightly concave walls, a flat bottom and rounded rim. It is equipped with a long rectangular handle, with a central groove, which is attached to the outer wall of the pan just below the rim. Frying-pans have been documented from the fifth century BC onwards and, like today, were used to fry and bake meat and other kinds of food.
The specimen comes from the Roman workshop of Ermedàs (Cornellà del Terri), a pottery that, in addition to the Italian cookery ware, also made copies of fine walled vessels and African cookery ware, among other products.
