Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The NOVECRAFTO amphora holds 210 litres and costs £149.95 — £0.714 a litre, the dearest storage in this ranking — with 4.2 stars from 117 ratings.
It takes tenth because the water is identical to the £58.99 barrel here and the price is two and a half times it. What the money buys is a shape that looks like a garden ornament rather than a barrel, and that is a real want, honestly priced for what it is.
How those 117 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.2 stars.
