Yep. Lots of the wooden furniture survived, too (although carbonized). Herculaneum actually provides more evidence for daily life, IMHO.

The Getty museum in California is more or less a replica of one of the houses excavated at Herculaneum. One of the artifacts from the House of Piso is a brazier that stood just inside the front door; the possibility exists (despite the long interval between him and the eruption) that Julius Caesar warmed his hands over it, as he was related (for a while) by marriage to the family there.
