Lovely rare French Vintage Pedestal Silver Absinthe / Whiskey / Cognac Liquor Fountain Dispenser. Alcohol Fountain with gilded metal and wheat engraved on the glass surface. French Barware used in the early to mid 1900s in the French Art Decor time frame. Body that holds liquor and silver plated foot, dispenser and cover with a tassel.
It can be used as a lovely display piece for preparation and serving absinthe, whiskey or other alcohols and liquids. I adverstised it as glass but it could crystal. I am not sure so I am being safe and saying glass.
--- Condition ---
In good vintage condition considering it's age. There are imperfections such as surface scratches/tiny dents/surface marks and the metal top with the tassel is loose but doesn't interfere with the function of the piece. It has been cleaned with steel wool and dish soap so it is ready for display and use. Please ask me if you are unsure and use ZOOM to review the detail of each photo.
These items are old and were manufactured and used in a time period when processes were not as sophistication, mechanical or controlled as they are today. Therefore, in addition to the defects identified and documented in my listing, there are slight dimensional differences/deviations in the color/decoration between the different patterns and some little marks or small manufacturing imperfections such as minor defects in the glaze or in the varnish. Each plate is not identically the same which to me is art and shows it's history.
--- Measurements & Weight ---
Approximately (largest dimensions) 32-33 cm height x 8 cm top diameter x 15 cm width & 1000 grams each not including the packaging weight.
