Hello everyone,
We have a PC in our group who's a bit of a dipsomaniac, so I did some research into how wine used to be shipped back in the ancient days, and came up with this:
That's like 84 gallons of wine, baby!
I gave them to the GM and asked him to bait an ambush for our wino pal.
The huge amphora on the left were shaped that way so you could set them on the ground and tip them to pour. What's funny is, I didn't realize that until I made these things… When I saw the pictures I thought "why would they make them with pointy bottoms? You can't stand them up then!" But once I had made them and set them on the table, I saw immediately why: they naturally rest on an edge of that cone, and then tip back automatically once you've poured yourself a kylix of wine.
Oh, I didn't put handles on the little amphoras because my fingers were too huge.
So nice!!!
These are made out of Sculpey.
Good luck!
