This cellar bin label is a mid 19th-century Victorian item made from cream-coloured earthenware with an arched top, a flat base, and a central hanging hole. The surface shows visible aging with vertical surface cracks, stains, scuffs, and handwritten dark ink script that reads Marsala 1856 along with additional inscribed text. Measuring 12.1 cm high, 13 cm wide, and 0.5 cm deep, it is suitable for display on a bookshelf to bring a historical touch to a gentleman's library or study. Originally part of a set of twenty-three cellar bin labels from Kentwell Hall in Suffolk, this piece connects to Dovers of Great Yarmouth. It makes a practical decorative accessory for a wine enthusiast or collector of historical cellar items, sitting neatly among books, on a shelf, or within a cabinet to denote vintage wine regions in a traditional home interior setting.

Wine bin labels were practical markers used in eighteenth and nineteenth-century private cellars and country estates to identify wine types, spirits, and vintage years stored in brick cellars.

These labels were typically fashioned from creamware, earthenware, or pearlware ceramics featuring a protective clear glaze with hand-painted or written ink text.

Authentic period examples exhibit original glaze crazing, period-appropriate ink hand-lettering, hand-drilled hanging holes, and minor wear patterns around the suspension point.

They can be framed together in shadow boxes, displayed on open shelving, or styled alongside modern home bar setups and glassware collections.

Wipe gently using a dry, soft cloth; moisture should be avoided on unglazed or handwritten areas to prevent deterioration of historical inscriptions.
