Mounting a yard...
 

Hi all,

SWMBO & I were given a rather nice Dartington Crystal yard of ale
as a wedding gift. It's been a long while since I saw one hanging
in a pub, so I'm not really sure of the best way to hang it on a
wall for display.

Anyone got tips for how to do it properly?

Cheers,

Two Terry clips - allows quick dismounting for use!

Oh, I want quick dismounting alright! Do you think Terry clips
would be strong enough? If I'm thinking of the right thing,
they tend to be stamped out of pretty thin metal...?

We're talking about 1m and 1.5kg of glass here after all!

You'll also find Dartington glass is quite soft and
probably easily scratched by any metal clips.

2 hooks, with small lengths of chain as a cradle.

I'd be inclined to make shaped wooden supports for it, bevelled to
fit snugly and maybe lined with a bit of felt.

Plenty strong as they're made out of spring steel.

Just make sure what you fix them to/how you do it is strong enough.
