Hi all
I've got a reproduction Neolithic Beaker (clay cup) which is meant for display only.
Nah
I'd like to use it for drinking from. Unfortunately it's porous (think terracotta).
I vaguely recal someone mentioning milk to seal pottery. And obviously I could apply beeswax.
Can I ask the collective forum brain? Thoughts on what was done originally to seal them for drinking? These were also for cooking with (in larger form) so what would have been used with heat as beeswax would just melt. And how do you do the milk sealing?
