From The Feast, an exquisite masterpiece hailing from France in 1607/30, to the Spouted Wine Flagon crafted by Abraham Ganting in Bern around 1750, each jug tells its own unique story. Transport yourself to Gmunden during the early 1800s with the enchanting Wine Jug of unknown origin - its delicate craftsmanship evoking a sense of mystery. Equally intriguing is its counterpart from 1700/25, showcasing how this timeless vessel has evolved over time while preserving its allure. Venturing further back in time, we discover an Italian treasure dating back to approximately 1540. This ancient wine jug whispers secrets of long-forgotten feasts and celebrations that once graced Italy's tables. Meanwhile, London's contribution comes in the form of Charles Frederick Kandler's masterful creation from 1739/40 - a testament to British craftsmanship at its finest. As our journey unfolds, we encounter Nicholas Amantea's Water or Wine Jug from circa 1939; a modern twist on tradition that seamlessly blends functionality with artistic flair. The Loan Art Collection housed within South Kensington Museum adds another layer of depth to our narrative through intricate engravings depicting these magnificent vessels. But let us not forget the Gnathian glazed oinochoe by Konnakis Group - both terracotta marvels serve as reminders that even ancient civilizations recognized the importance of elegantly serving their cherished wines. Join us on this mesmerizing expedition through time and culture as we celebrate these remarkable wine jugs – guardians of traditions past and present.
