AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The objects shown are a glass siphon for seltzer water and a glass-and-brass cocktail shaker, historic bar accessories used to carbonate drinking water.
The concept of modern carbonated water dates back to 1767, when the English chemist Joseph Priestley discovered a method for mixing carbon dioxide with water. The name "seltz" (or seltzer in English) derives from the German village of Selters, known for its springs of naturally effervescent mineral water.
During the 19th and early 20th centuries, glass siphons became extremely popular in Europe, especially in France and Czechoslovakia, as common objects in bistros and homes. The bottles were often colored (pastel green, light blue, ultramarine blue) and bore the engraved marks of the producing companies.
The shape of the object has evolved over time, transitioning from an original design with two globes to a single cylindrical body. The object in the image, with its sturdy metal nozzle, is a typical example of the pre-1930s era.
Today they are highly sought-after collectibles for their historical value and vintage charm.
