The brass mount, formerly silver-plated, shows no signs of impact but is highly patinated by use and time: it is sculpted and decorated better than by an artist! When Time alone creates works of art... One never tires of looking at the different magical effects produced by the wear of gilding on these bronze parts... There is also a glass and silver-plated metal "tube" in very good condition that can be filled with ice cubes or fresh water, held by a handle and slid, then fixed inside to ensure the liquid in this carafe stays cool.
Some may call this object "VINTAGE", but I prefer to present it as a beautiful decorative piece in its own right (still functional). It is very rare to find a pitcher with a cooler compartment of such a shape, of such a size, the vast majority being shorter and rounder.Specifications: dimensions: 36 x 21 x 14 cm weight: 3000 grams capacity: approximately 3 liters..
