Mazers and the drinking culture of late medieval England

C. M. Woolgar

Summary: Mazers, made of maple wood, were an important part of medieval English material culture since the 12th century. They held various meanings, being prestigious in elite households, establishing connections between families through inheritance and identity, and perpetuating memory and memorial practices. They also served as communal drinking vessels, fostering unity in families, guilds, and chantries, and even conveying indulgences. Furthermore, mazers differentiated between wine-drinking sections of society, who used silver vessels, and lower-status individuals, who primarily drank ale. They were most commonly found in towns and monasteries, where monks were discouraged from using silver vessels.
