AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The objects shown are a glass siphon for seltzer water and a glass-and-brass cocktail shaker, historical bar accessories used to carbonate drinking water. The concept of modern carbonated water dates back to 1767, when English chemist Joseph Priestley discovered a method to mix 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.
In 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. Bottles were often colored (pastel green, azure, cobalt blue) and bore the marks of the manufacturing companies.
The shape of the object evolved over time, changing from an original two-globe design to a single cylindrical body. The item in the image, with its sturdy metal dispenser, is a typical example from the pre-1930s era.
Today they are highly sought-after collectibles for their historical value and vintage charm.
