Interesting design with vintage lacquered wood goatskin body and silver plate top with brass handle. The separate pieces of wood come together to make the unusual and interesting exterior. This is a OLD piece with lots of wear from time, use and storage. It securely hold liquids and would be such a great rustic piece on any table!

Intended as a thermos carafe with glass liner in place and in tact but no ball top closure. These high end pieces of vintage Italian decor are highly desireable.

There is also a screw/nail missing UNDER the top of the handle but the handle is attached and secure.

About the Artist Aldo Tura: Aldo Tura was an Italian artist-Craftsman who started to manufacture and design furniture in the 1930's. As an experimental furniture designer Aldo Tura often used a wide selection of unusual materials which included: eggshell, parchment, leather and wood veneering. His name is synonymous with classic, timeless design and the elaborate manufacture of furniture with a unique character. Aldo opened his own workshop in Milan in the late 1930s. His design sketches united elements of art deco and minimalism in a stylistic fusion. He favoured the use of coloured and lacquered parchment and red, green and brown tones are among his best loved and most often used colours. Among Tura's trademark designs are tables, sideboards and, above all, fully-equipped bar furnishings. Throughout his life Tura never followed the trend towards industrial production, but instead remained faithful to his métier as a manufacturer of high-quality designer works until his death in 1963. Today the firm of 'Tura', with its headquarters in the Italian region of Brianza, produces exclusive items of furniture that follow in the tradition of their famous namesake.
