A “pot à oille” was used to serve a strong, spicy stew from Spain, known in French as “oille”. The round tureen shape, as opposed to later oval shapes, had already established itself as the standard shape by the end of the 17th century and was common in both metal-working and ceramics (Cassidy-Geiger, Fragile Diplomacy, 2008, p.144).
