These days, you rarely see a vintage hot water urn—and when you do, it’s usually languishing on a buffet line or some bleak work convention. This one, however, demands attention. C rafted in what is likely Sheffield Plate, this fluted hot water urn bridges the elegance of late decorative arts with the streamlined optimism that would become Art Deco. The result is a sculptural silhouette that feels both refined and forward-looking. Remarkably, it remains fully functional. A central chamber is designed to hold hot charcoal for heating water in the traditional manner. Alternatively, fill the chamber with ice to keep cocktails chilled without dilution—an inspired use for modern entertaining. However you choose to use this immaculate piece, it's guaranteed to impress. This product may be picked up in Hudson, NY or through self arranged shipping. Contact for more information.
