Bearing the name of St. Peter's Chapel, an Episcopal church in Montrose, Scotland, these magnificent vessels would have likely been used to transport and dispense communion wine.
Each of the two flagons features a stepped foot along with a stepped and domed cover. The handles are beautifully curving S-scrolls with delicately scrolled thumb pieces, and an applied band divides each flagon in two, creating the perfect sense of harmony and symmetry. Bastions of Neoclassical grace and sophistication, these magnificent flagons were once part of the iconic Red McCombs Collection, which has been highly publicized and studied.
