The collection of tin plates
with a theme of wine making
is the largest collection in Europe.
The collection shown below is part of a bigger collection. New tin items are
continuously being added to the collection and the webpage is then updated.
The collection mainly consists of items made of tin but there are few items made
of copper as well. The whole collection is wine themed showing the whole cycle
of making wine from growing and picking grapes to the final stage of tasting
and distribution of wine. Therefore the items have been divided into two themed
groups:
1.Wine production,
2. Enjoyment of wine.
There are various tin plates, cups, chalices & wine carafes. The tinware has all
been crafted by tinsmiths which depict people working in vineyards, the different
stages of wine making, people consuming wine in an inn, cellars with wine barrels.
The theme originates from the XIXth and XXth century traditions of wine making and enjoyment.
The unique compositions made of one or few plates have been enhanced by adding a metal or wooden frame
