  • Flagon - A flagon is a tall narrow cylindrical vessel, often with a handle, in metal, glass or ceramics for storage and carriage of liquids. It is also used to describe an elongated metal tankard with either a flat or domed lid and a thumbpiece for raising it, used for drinking beer.
  • George Iii - George III (1738 - 1820) was King of Great Britain and Ireland from 1760 to 1820.
