About the amphora.
The cork stopped leaking over night. Thanks :-)
I am surprised it took so long to stop dripping and, in general, I'm still not pleased with the design of the spigot. I think they may be sold more for looks than for serious function.
I like the looks, but in general the overall design could use improvement. Maybe daedin's idea of an amphora in sand is the way to go, or a 2 gallon lidded pitcher???



It's interesting how self-cooling the water evaporation makes the pot. It is so much colder than the air, even after sitting for over 12 hours at room temperature. And I can imagine it filled with ice water during a hot event, ummmmm.

Lovely! When/if these go into production I would love to get one.

I'd be delighted to make one for you too. Come over at Coronation, parlor_games too, and we can discuss design. I'm camping with jarlshof but plan to be cooking on the open fire with onorie too.
I'll probably make these with commission rather than having them in my regular line.
