decanter reveal :D

I wanted to get the morning sunlight in for these photos!

Heres the first one, I didn't realize how dusty it was until I put it in the sunlight and it shows :')

I liked that one because it reminded me of a cartoonish potion bottle.

Here is the second one, and I'm absolutely in love with it. That stopper makes it look like it belongs in a cathedral of some sort. And its pretty big too.

(This is just the stopper with a full sized banana for scale, its slightly taller than my hand)

I love pretty much anything that A) makes me feel like a wizard or a 15th century commoner, B) makes a good noise when I tap it or pull the lid off, or C) smells like dust and mold and 50+year old glue

Bonus D) Things that remind me or make me think of my characters (I may make a separate post about this idk)

The Brothers Clarke with Other Gentlemen Taking Wine

Artist: Gawen Hamilton (Scottish, 1698–1737)

Date: 1730-1735

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Yale Center for British Art, New Haven, CT, United Kingdom

Description

In what was intended to be a group portrait, the Clarke brothers (their surname is all we know) and other bewigged gentlemen sit or stand around a covered table on which there are decanters of wine and a clear glass carafe. All of the tapered conical glasses are empty except for that of the seated gentleman, presumably one of the Clarke brothers, looking out at the viewer. On the left, a servant can be seen filling a decanter from a large wine cooler on the floor, while a servant boy next to him holds a tray of glasses, watching and waiting for the bottle to be filled. On the table next to them is a two-handled ceremonial drinking cup. In addition to the gentlemen's dress and deportment, the paintings and decorative overmantel behind them attest to their culture and refinement.

A Meeting of the Newcastle Phrenological Society

Artist: British (English) School

Date: 1835

Medium: Oil on board

Collection: National Trust Collections, London, United Kingdom

Description

Phrenologists studied the shape and size of the skull as a means of determining the character and intelligence of a person. The practice was widely considered to have little scientific merit and in this painting phrenology is presented as more of a parlour entertainment than a serious academic pursuit. Eight men from the local Newcastle Phrenological Society drink, converse and share snuff around a table whilst a ninth man examines the temple bones of one of the seated figures.

Eight male figures are seated around a green baize table illuminated by an oil lamp, with decanters and glasses on the table. A ninth man stands while he examines the bumps on a fellow's head. A female attendant enters the room from the right. The first meeting of the Phrenological Society was held on the 7th December 1835.
