The presentation of a plate to Their Excellencies, Cormac and Elspeth, was made by The Honourable Lady Ant Blowme of St Cloud. This plate was inspired by an Italian Maiolica plate (1525).
The feast
The feast was inspired by the wedding of Excellentissimo Signor don Alfonso d’Este to Serenissima Duchessa Barbara d’Austria, held at the Palazzo Bevilaqua, in Verona, Italy in December 1565. The entire wedding banquet was inspired by Neptune, and was entirely marine themed. This marine theme fitted well with the heraldry of Krae Glas, so we attempted to recreate this feast to fit the description as much as possible, from the decorations described to the food that was served. One of the most astounding foods presented at the wedding banquet of Alfonso d’Este and Duchessa Barbara d’Austria was a Trionfo di Nettuno, a sugar sculpture depicting Neptune, with giant whales cast in sugar, which was recreated for this feast:
