AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Title: Vintage nautical musical drink decanter - ship's lantern style - plays "How Dry I Am"
Description:
Unique mid-century (circa the 1960s) collectible decanter in the shape of a ship's lantern. This atmospheric piece of nautical barware combines functionality with charm and is a guaranteed conversation starter in any man cave, home bar, or as a decorative accent.
Features
Music box: The built-in music box in the base plays the cheerful drinking tune 'How Dry I Am' as soon as the carafe is lifted.
Material: Made of clear glass in an elegant brass- or copper-colored frame.
Design: In the glass reservoir there is a detailed metal model of a sailing ship. The inscription "Valkenburg." is visible on a small plaque beneath the ship.
Condition: Vintage condition with a slight patina on the metal, which contributes to the authentic, well-worn look. The music box still works perfectly.
Origin: Marked as made in Japan, typical for this period.
An ideal gift for someone who loves vintage items, nautical decor, or unique barware.
