HISTORY · CONTEXT

Small Firkin Barrel

A small English firkin - 9 gallon ale cask, squat profile, two pairs of iron hoops, tap bung on the head. Period: multi-era, c. 1300 CE - 1900 CE.

The firkin (~41 L) was the standard English public-house ale measure for six centuries - rolled out daily from coaching inns, taverns, and ship-galleys across the Anglosphere. The smaller silhouette balances any larger barrel for variety.

Painting tips

  • Staves: warm wood with sepia wash.
  • Hoops: dark iron with rust.
  • Tap: bare brass with darker recesses.
  • Spilled-ale stain below the tap.
