WINE STORAGE AMPHORAE and Decanters

20 liter/5 gallon capacity

These terra cotta amphorae are entirely handmade in house and have been waterproofed with100% food grade beeswax. The vessel is heated so that hot wax completely impregnates the inner surface, seeps deeply into the seams and completely seals them, thus making wax preferable to glaze.

The taps are brass, and are removable.

The lids are designed to fit very tightly but are not 100% airtight. They are made of terra cotta and lined with beeswax.

The vessel shown has a 5 gallon/20 liter capacity . They can be made smaller or larger upon request up to 2o inches tall. Price will be less for smaller sizes, more for larger vessels.

You can have a favorite saying inscribed at no extra charge. This one says: "Fa piu' miracoli un'anfora piena di vino che una chiesa piena di santi." Translation from the Italian: "More miracles are created by an amphora full of wine than by a church full of saints." S. Mortelliti, CANADA
