介绍（中）	这是英国银行家兼银匠Henry Jernegan（约1688–1745/6）为其客户Littleton Pointz Meynell（约1695–1752）委托制作的宏伟的银制葡萄酒蓄水池的电版复制品，该客户希望拥有"有史以来或可能成为的最大、最好的银制蓄水池…"古董商和雕刻师George Vertue（1684-1756）和人物蜡模由出生于佛兰德的英国雕塑家John Michael Rysbrack（1694-1770）制作。现在位于圣彼得堡埃尔米塔什博物馆的实际蓄水池是银匠查尔斯·弗雷德里克·坎德勒（1720–1770年代）的作品。1734年，当这件非凡的作品终于准备好时，梅内尔改变了主意，杰尼根被这件奢侈的物品卡住了，他没能找到买家。在1739年的一次抽奖中，这个蓄水池以第一价格售出，次年被俄罗斯安妮女王收藏。
介绍（英）	This is an electrotype reproduction of the magnificent silver wine cistern commissioned by the English banker and silversmith Henry Jernegan (ca. 1688–1745/6) for his client Littleton Pointz Meynell (ca. 1695–1752) who was desirous to have the "largest and finest silver cistern that ever was or could be…" A first sketch of the design honoring the wine god Bacchus was done by the antiquarian and engraver George Vertue (1684-1756) and the wax models for the figures were executed by the Flemish-born English sculptor John Michael Rysbrack (1694–1770). The actual cistern, now in the Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, was the work of the silversmith Charles Frederick Kandler (act. 1720–1770s). When this remarkable piece was finally ready in 1734, Meynell had changed his mind and Jernegan was stuck with the extravagant object for which he failed to find a buyer. Offered as first price in a lottery of 1739, the wine cistern entered the collection of Empress Anne of Russia by the following year.
