Description




I was unaware of Puzzle Vessels until I noticed this category described by John Rausch on Puzzle World:


“Puzzle vessels are the oldest known mechanical puzzles. Several Phoenician puzzle vessels are in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. They have been made throughout history and reached their peak in ninth century Turkey. 

 

The puzzle part of these vessels is to drink from them without spilling the contents. They have holes all over the place! There is usually a hidden or disguised hole that must be drunk from like a straw while covering selected others with your fingers. Often, the liquid is designed to be drawn up through the handle and around the diameter of the vessel to the drinking hole. 

 

Many of the vessels are beautiful examples of the potter's art.”


Peter included this on the information card:


“Despite their ancient origin, puzzle vessels did not run out of innovation just yet (see William Waite’s creations).  This jug is a modest contribution to the genre, adding a variation to the most common design - though I just heard that a related idea may have been used in a Victorian jug.”


Shipping cost to be determined at close of auction.
