单词 | pot gallery |
释义 | † pot galleryn. Obsolete. Perhaps: a covered gallery or balcony extending out into a river (esp. the Thames) from the bank.The actual nature and purpose of a ‘pot gallery’ has not been ascertained; the recorded dimensions of some ‘pot galleries’, as recorded in the quotations, make it unlikely that (as has been suggested: see Notes & Queries (1907) 31 Aug. 172) the term refers to the outside gallery or balcony of a pothouse overhanging the river.
