Wikipedia
Another huge satisfaction has been to compose and succeed in inserting in Wikipedia, at the end of 2008, an article that did not yet exist : WHISKY JUG  .
I hope to have so contributed to the knowledge and diffusion of the collection of whisky jugs.
Events
In February 2007 I had the plesure to host in the hotel I manage an exibition with auction of liquor mini-bottles, organized by the association of collectors of such objects. I have also received a prize that I appreciated a lot.
Guides & catalogues
Here are three guides concerning the pub-jugs. All provide pictures and rough evaluation of the jugs.
The first, 120 pages, was published around the '80s and the author is Gordon Litherland, also known under the name The Ole Bottleman. The second, 144 pages, was published by David Westcott on Marh 1991. The third, of the same author but appeared in November 1999, has 176 pages and also deals with more collectable whisky stuff, such as figures, calendars, ashtrays, etc.
This is a French book of 143 pages, published in 1998 by P.Couraunlt e F.Bertin. It concerns the publicity performed through artistic objects of various kind...
...while this one, 120 pages, only concerns the advertising images of the main whisky brands.
I have also a small catalogue of the italian ceramic factory Piola, printed in 1979.
Advertising images
Now I want to share with you some ancient beautiful whisky advertising images in which appear also water jugs.
Art & jugs
I show you how a friend of mine, Andrea Bersani, well-known expert in graphic art, advertising and illustration, represented with an artistic sketch the whisky-jug collection
Another great friend of mine, Tonino Guerra, world-famous poet, writer and painter, gave me as a present, a sketch on the theme of jugs.
Curiosities
Here I present an old Chivas Regal brochure offering a mini jug as a gift for every consumption of its whisky in some selected italian restaurants.
 
An article concerning the Whisky-Jugs, published in 1978 on the English magazine Art & Antiques.
