Other - other

The earthenware book bottle served as a herres vessel. The herres vessel is a lead-glazed earthenware, book-shaped with two clasps, dark brown glaze. The clasps have two stamped buttons. Its dated inscription is scratched in. It was made by potter Gergely Simon in 1890. ; According to the Hungarian Ethnographic Lexicon, the herres is one of the final acts of the wedding: that is, the bride's wedding party's visit to the groom's house. ; In the entire Carpathian Basin, including Gömör, the richest and most varied customs appear on the occasion of the choice of a partner, the wedding and the wedding. Many of these have survived or been transformed. ; Several herres vessels from Nemesradnót are kept in the Ethnographic Museum in Budapest. They were brought there from Nemesradnót in 1931. ; They were presumably made in Rimaszombat or Fazekaszsaluzsány, collected from a certain Jenő Endler. ; The Lidike Pihenőház rethought the custom and, based on photographs, had the 2018 versions of the herröss vessels made by ceramic artist Danka Bakšová in Fazekaszsaluzsány.
