[Sca-cooks]Fountains was: Casa Bardicci Subtlety Contest

[Johnna Holloway]

Found this mention---

For visible evidence of food in history, Prof. Rocke’s class, which 
numbered fourteen students, visited the Cleveland Museum of Art 
<http://www.clemusart.com/>. Students were shown various depictions of 
food, artifacts, and containers for food, and they discovered a 
fourteenth-century French table fountain. The fountain has a hidden 
pumping mechanism that produces a continuous fountain of wine. “It is a 
mechanically ingenious device and a work of art,” Prof. Rocke says.

The interactive feature that showed how it worked is mentioned in the 
exhibit sections but that appears to have never been part of the
website. It was just for the public attending the show.
