These vessels were used for serving wine at the table; the vast majority of these cimarres, of medieval inspiration, come from this Champagne region. The following centers produced this type of object intended for serving wine at the table, most often during receptions: BAR SUR AUBE, CHAUMONT MONTIER EN DER, TROYES, VIGNORY, WASSY... etc.
