Description
Horizontally fluted, turned red and white cone on round wood, with a red and white bag hanging from it for red and white wine.
This is an exhibition arrangement of two different wooden taps (oak) for temporary wine serving, similar to the wine taverns in southern Germany. The two-coloured cone stood for an offer of both red and white wine. The red and white bags marked that only one type of wine was being served.
Provenance
Formerly the Guben City Museum. Parts of the collection were apparently evacuated to Kossar (today: Kosierz) in 1942/43. The part of the collection that remained in Guben is said to have been looted between 1945 and 1948 and has been considered lost ever since.
