Abstract
Rescue excavations in the area of the Upper City of Patras and within the Castle have yielded pottery, which delineates ceramic production from the 16th on to the 19th century. The pottery represents the production both of local workshops, already documented by archaeological evidence in Patras and its outskirts region that confirms the use of ceramic kilns during the period under examination, and of Asia Minor workshops. The material under examination includes vases for the storage and transportation of liquid as well as solid food, tableware, especially jugs and a small number of bowls and dishes associated with domestic quarters. Within ceramics for everyday use fall also the clay tobacco pipes, which may be taken to suggest a private space for their users.
