The presenter and this V&A video is delightful and you need to use her more often. And although she doesn't appreciate the late '70s crockery design for the glog pot it would be my favorite because of the beautiful birds that are done as a more organic design.
My favorite objects were the chicken tureen and Noel, he looked so forlorn on the platter. Iona's presentation was brilliant. And, the Bloopers, could do with an entire video of those! Happy Christmas to all!
No it wasn't primarily a hygeine concern, it was a courtesy as silverware was a huge expense, and dishes served many, guests would often be more plentiful than there was silverware to accommodate everyone, and travel was slow, so very oftwn involved taking rooms in simpler accomodations along the way, where finer dinnerware than a wooden spoon and a carving knife may not have been available. Also the travelling sermt needed washing up, but that you could take care of yourself. The value of your fine travel cutlery would insure you didn't leave it to random service folk. It's a very fine example, but there were simpler sets, with three pieces in slim casings too, so it wasn't a very posh thing, but commonplace even in lower classes when visiting or travelling. The kind of courtesy that never made meals awkward as everyone had the cutlery they were used to and preferred and no room for pieces of fibe silver going missing either 😉
@@gnarbeljo8980 I've seen videos that included showing an example of a (wooden) spoon that would be worn like a necklace pendant to be used for this as well as other tasks. (A spoon necklace today is generally a very different story.)
You got me early in the video. I would love to know more about the pig. How's it made etc. Your energy should increase "likes" and subscribers. You bring the V&A to life. Well done.
Noel (birth date unknown) was an award-winning prop suckling pig who once had pride of place in our galleries. Now he's enjoying well-earned retirement in our stores. He's made of wax, but is a bit sensitive about it. His favourite colour is blue.
That was a delight! Thank you, Iona, and I hope you had a very happy Christmas even if your dining set was plain old BHS as ours is. I forgot we had a bottle of port in the cupboard. Oops.
This is a thing that I don't own, but I keep longingly glancing at the cast-aluminum squirrel shaped nutcracker (a functional one) and I just love it so much. By way of things I do own, however, is what is called a "cupcake keeper." a pink tupperware container shaped like a cupcake with swirls of icing, and it is supposed to carry a cupcake. Now, because of that lovely asparagus dish you featured in this video, I think I'll put something savory inside it. :)
How delightful, Iona! I’m a new subscriber. I almost always have a bunch of grapes after dinner, and from now on I’ll think about snipping instead of plucking them like a heathen. Not saying I’ll actually do it but I’ll remember Iona, the Victorians and the V&A. Lovely dress, btw.
So good! Iona is a delight! And the editing is perfect- you struck the sweet spot of being entertaining and informative. Love your videos, V&A, keep them coming!
I received part of the Christmas ornaments of my mother in law when she past away. What struck me was the old cardboard box they came in. It was mark ‘Neilsen chocolate bar 5 cent size’. Chocolate bar increase from 5 to 8 cents in Canada in 1947. Cardboard was very different back then, there is no ondulated middle part it is just a solid carton board about a quarter inch thick.
I subscribe to a number of YT channels that focus on British history, culture etc. and the content on this one is by far the best. This video was really interesting, aimed at grown-ups and a personable-but-quirky-in-the-best-way presenter made it (even though I disagree with her about the beautiful glog pot!). Thank you and more please.
My favorite is the post box tin. Especially the ability to put different coins in different slots. Thanks so much for the informative and hilarious video! Happy Christmas to all of you at the V&A!
I'm a huge fan of modern Norwegian ceramics so I'm going to go with the glogg pot. Spectacular and lovely hand done decoration. Brago and very inspiring!
Happy Happy Christmas from Australia. Iona you are fabulousness itself! I loved your wit and your knowledge. My favourites are the 50’s plate and gravy jug. Can’t remember the designer. Sorry. Today is Gravy Day in Australia named after a famous song by Paul Kelly. A truly authentic Australian Christmas song. Have a listen.Enjoy. Liz
I nearly bought a rooster lotion dispenser and I’m now not only mourning the loss of my rooster lotion pump but also what would be a perfect matching chicken soup tureen.
Do you have anything wild at home which beats our wacky objects? 🔥 Take us on in the comments 🔥
Iona is awesome! We need more of her - she is a great presenter!!!!
She is!@@hannahpumpkins4359
Thank you for your silliness. And thank you, editor, for keeping some bloopers in and all the other little things you did to make the video great! 😊
🫡🫡🫡
So interesting! Need to see more from Iona, she brought it all to life ✨
Yes! More Iona please! 😄
She's so funny, this was a lot of fun to watch.
glogg pot sounds like a great insult to call somebody. i'll be sure to remember it
OMG SHE'S DELIGHTFUL!!!
and the bloopers at the end are PRICELESS!!
BRAVA BRAVA BRAVA 💐
Iona is such a delight - what a breath of fresh air. More of her, please! Thoroughly enjoyed this 😊
I am sorry but the humour, brit humour, is what brings educational vids together. Loved it.❤
We've got plenty more brit humour to get you through 2024 😘

Love your style, made it all fun & interesting. I'd like the grape scissors too. 😊
That’s more of a glågg than a gløgg, but I applaud the effort.
The sass is top notch. The port bottle is really pretty.
The traveling silverware was the best! They were worried about the hygiene of the house but they were very willing to eat the food…

Thanks for the added info. That totally makes sense.

this was so fun! I normally watch the asmr videos yall put out but saw this randomly pop up and just LOVED it!
We've got more 'Laying the table' films for 2024 (*cough* gruesome surgeon's table *cough*). Subscribe so you don't miss!
We found this really interesting and excellently presented by Iona. She really brought the objects to life. The glogg pot is a favourite.
Wonderful. "Bring back the grape scissors!!"
Fabulous video!! Oozing charm, charisma and all things Christmas. Really enjoyed the bloopers too! Thank you V&A for brightening my day :)
My favorite is the cabbage gravy boat.
What a treat. Thank you and Happy Christmas.
Iona made this so much fun. Love the gorgeous objects! Great work to everyone who helped put this together.
What a fun video! Fascinating and delightfully presented. I love the whimsey of the gravy boat in the shape of cabbage leaves. Happy Christmas!🌸
Loved the outtakes! What a charming presenter.
Glögg sounds more like glug than glog.(The ö is not just for decoration.) Cheers from Finland🎄
But you must admit it is fancy🥰😇💖
This was delightful and you are hilarious! Happy Christmas. Loved the gold chocolate pot
Yeah that was by far the most beautiful item, in my opinion.
I love trompe l'oeil ceramics, and am always on the look out for an asparagus dish. Thank you for this delightful visit to the V&A.
great video, great sense of humour you have.
Iona saying Leif Helge Enger over and over again is honestly burnt into my mind th-cam.com/video/iO55_OaXldw/w-d-xo.html
What a brilliant and cheeky video with some fun details about Christmas past for the well-to-do.

I definitely need a pair of grape scissors!😅
such a fun video! I loved the cutlery set!

How lovely. Thanks for the fun and the information too.😊
J'adore tout, les fabuleux objets, le décor et l'humour!!!
Wonderful sense of humor, fantastic. Thank You and Merry Christmas.

This was awesome. Iona was so much fun to watch! Loved the outtakes. Merry Christmas ya filthy animals 😆🎄
Hope you have a great Christmas eating junk and watching rubbish 🏠

Great video, have been around some tables where indeed it turns into a filthy animals by cheese time. Merry Christmas V & A
So delightful that I had to subscribe! More please! 🎉
This was lovely and fun. I also appreciate the acknowldegment of the not-so-fun history of the cacao trade. Thank you!
Wonderful personality!

Huzzah for grape scissors! I became so obsessed with the idea of them a few years ago that my best friend bought me a pair from my birthday 😅
Thank you so much for this amazing video! I’d love to see more like this ❤️
I love this video! Host is charming! Objects are beautiful! My favorite is the Christmas plate by Eric.
She is delightful. Have her do more videos. Great stuff to show as well. Enjoy the holidays.

The plate was from 1938
Excellent choices! Thank you so much for this and your stellar ASMR at the Museum series❣️
I think the nut pick (in set) is used to extract nut from shell, they’re still in use today 🎄❄️
This was so great! My favourite object was the portable cutlery, such an interesting item!

Chicken Run aesthetic 🤌
