As summer draws closer and the weather warms up, it’s important to stay hydrated. With that in mind, I’m sharing some small pieces from San Francisco’s Legion of Honor art museum (and one from my favorite hotel) to help remind you. These beautiful creations from Europe and the Mediterranean date from as far back as 300 A.D. to the modern era. Enjoy your beverage of choice in good health!
