  • Carafe - A carafe is a type of container, typically made of glass, that is used for holding and serving liquids such as water, wine, or juice. Carafes typically have a narrow neck and a wide base and are designed to be poured from easily. They often have a handle for easy pouring and carrying. Some carafes have a stopper or lid to keep the liquid fresh and prevent spills.
  • Tankard - A tankard is a drinking vessel for beer, ale, and cider, similar in shape to a large mug, and usually with a hinged lid. Silver tankards were in use in Britain and other parts of Europe from at least the sixteenth century, pewter tankards probably from the thirteenth. In the 19th century a number of ornately carved ivory tankards were produced, but these were designed to demonstrate the skill of the carver, rather than for day to day use. The shapes of tankards vary, sometimes globular, sometimes a tapering concave. For those with lids, the lid usually includes a thumbpiece that the drinker can hold down to keep the lid open. Variation in the design of the thumbpiece include wedge, ball and wedge, ball, hammer head, bud and wedge, double volute (scroll), chair-back, ball and bar, shell, double acorn, corkscrew, and ram's horn.
