Description
This is a wonderful rare item. It’s a large ceramic urn this was the outer shell that sat over top on the metal or copper urn that held the beverage.It is in good shape except for some marks on the outside. They may be able to be cleaned off nothing looks permanent. There are no chips or cracks.
The history of these dispensers in quite interesting if you google it. There are still some cups to be found that went with this set up, though I do not have any.
These were used around 1900-1910 in drug stores to serve beef tea for health benefits.
The first picture is of an advertisement of a complete set. This listing is for the ceramic china decanter only, no other parts.
