诺维奇主教
Bishop of Norwich
2013
此系列酒具的灵感源自名为“诺维奇主教”的经典故事，并直接以此故事命名。诺维奇主教是一个十九世纪的绅士，因为在餐桌上忘记传递波特酒（一种英国的传统餐桌礼仪）而臭名昭著。这款酒具装置借以一种典型的英式美酒，使过去的谦恭礼仪得以回归。
“诺维奇主教”饱含了对传统的尊重，并经过特别设计，鼓励使用者在饮用了他们的波特酒之后，把酒瓶传递给下一个人。该作品设计精良，波特酒杯和酒瓶不能直接放置在桌子上，只能嵌入各自的黄铜底座上，这样波特酒才能被继续传递、分享和啜饮。一个加长的木制托盘把各部分并为一体，将这件完整的创造打造为一个壮观的酒具装置。
The decanter set Bishop of Norwich is influenced by and named after the classic tale of the ‘Bishop of Norwich’, a nineteenth-century gentleman notorious for forgetting to pass the port wine during dinners. This set brings about the return of humble rituals from the past through a drink that has become quintessentially British.
When port wine is passed around at British meals, one tradition dictates that a diner passes the decanter to the left immediately after pouring a glass for his or her neighbor on the right. The decanter should not stop its clockwise progress around the table until it is empty. If someone is seen to have failed to follow tradition, the breach is brought to their attention by asking ‘Do you know the Bishop of Norwich?’. Those aware of the tradition treat the question as a reminder, while those who do not are told ‘He’s a terribly good chap, but he always forgets to pass the port!’.
