A Georgian Creamware Bin Wine LableReturn to category

This hand painted piece of creamware would have been used to indentify the contents of a wine bin in the cellar,probably of a large house.

At that time wine wasnt sold in bottles, in fact it was illegal to do so. Wine was
stored in a large cask, known as a bin, and these lables were pinned to the wall to indentify the wine.
Wines were then decanted into bottles for use in thedining room,  and a smaller lable, usually silver, would be hung around the neck.

The lable is glazed on both sides, and has three small chips to the reverse.
