From the Haerlem soil: drinking games and wine glasses for greasy fingers

Anja van Zalinge, city archaeologist of Haarlem, and her colleagues are working hard to find a new depot in the city. The current depot has existed for over forty years and no longer meets today’s requirements. And while many interesting finds are stored there. While Anja continues her search, she shows us the nicest and most beautiful pieces from the depot. Last time you saw how the people of Haarlem drank coffee centuries ago.

Today we’re going to talk about drinks for the last time: about a beer glass that you could play a drinking game with and a wine glass that you could drink from with your greasy fingers. Both from the seventeenth century.
