A funnel for making alheiras
Vive Cabeceiras · Memória material · Basto (Santa Senhorinha)

Kitchen tools had very particular jobs.

Funnel L 65, made from sheet zinc, was used to make alheiras. The inventory links it to Devesa, Basto, and records a height of 6.1 centimetres and a diameter of 12.

The same collection contains funnels intended for transferring wine. The word funnel covers objects with different functions; this record neither documents a recipe nor confirms a current display.
