在18世纪的英国，高雅与野蛮的并存是一个关键问题。本文探讨了这种区别的性别方面，因为它是表现在与潘趣酒碗，茶杯和潘趣酒壶的意义。17和18世纪的新热饮现在是历史研究的一个很好的研究课题。关于咖啡的研究强调了在男性主导的咖啡馆中的消费，这些地方也是人们关注不文明行为的场所。相比之下，喝茶被视为礼貌的家庭社交的核心，将女性和家庭联系起来。然而，潘趣酒和潘趣酒饮用的物质文化很少受到历史的关注。这篇文章考虑了18世纪茶和潘趣酒的并列，探讨了精致与野蛮，女人与男人，家庭与外部之间的区别。然后，本文探讨了发展的物质文化的潘趣酒饮用和外观的潘趣壶从世纪中叶。文章最后指出，这些混合血管开玩笑地将男性的同性恋性和女性的同性恋性结合在一起，当时同性恋性的话语正在得到巩固。
The juxtaposition between refinement and barbarity was a critical one in eighteenth-century England. This essay examines the gendered aspects of this distinction as it was manifested in the meanings associated with punchbowls, teacups and punch pots. The new hot drinks of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries are now a well-examined subject of historical research. Work on coffee has emphasized consumption in male-dominated coffee houses, places which also served as loci for concerns about uncivil behaviour. In contrast, tea drinking is seen as central to polite domestic sociability, linking women and the home. Punch and the material culture of punch drinking, however, has been subjected to very little historical attention. This essay considers eighteenth-century juxtapositions of tea and punch, exploring therein the distinctions between refinement and barbarity, women and men and home and outside. The article then examines developments in the material culture of punch drinking and the appearance of punch pots from mid-century. The article closes with the argument that these hybrid vessels playfully united masculine homosociability and feminine domesticity, at a time when the discourse of domesticity was being consolidated.
