Medieval Flagon. Dating from as early as 1350, vessels such as these have been found in France, Switzerland and England. They are made by soldering together eight body panels. The lid is cast in one piece, with the finial and twin-ball thumbpiece being cast seperately and then soldered on. The flagon stands 21cm tall and enjoys a capacity of one and a half pints. Price £95.00. Links:
