Archaeological excavations conducted at Prague Castle produced finds of several ceramic vessels used in chemical processes on distillation apparatuses. The collection of the distillation vessels includes a portable kiln, a cucumber, a distilling cap (alembic), two bowls, and two domes which, given their dimensions, could have belonged to a single apparatus. These specific ceramic forms from several points of view are presented. A vital part of the study is a brief presentation of the results of chemical analyses of some of these finds.
