Description from the seller
Pair of Vintage Single-Serve Drip Coffee Makers - Orfèvrerie Mills Bruxelles & Durobor Glass (2) - Silver-plated
An exceptional and highly collectible pair of vintage individual manual drip coffee makers (single-serve pour-over system). This modular set reflects mid-20th-century European table coffee service, commonly used in upscale hotels and traditional Belgian cafés before electric espresso machines became standard.
Each coffee maker is complete with all its original 5 parts, which is extremely rare since the internal components are often lost over time.
- Metalwork: Crafted by the renowned Belgian silversmith "Orfèvrerie Mills" in Brussels (active mid-20th century).
- Hallmarks: Each piece is individually stamped with the maker's mark "MILLS BRUXELLES" along with technical quality silver-plating numbers ("45" on the main body and "90" on the lids) guaranteeing high-durability industrial silver plating.
- Patent Mark: Stamped "BREVETE" (Patented) on the interior of the lids.
- Glass Inserts: Removable heat-resistant tempered glass liners manufactured by the famous Belgian glassware company "Durobor".
Complete 5-Piece Assembly (Per Unit):
1. Silver-plated outer cup holder with handle
2. Original Durobor glass liner
3. Silver-plated upper brewing/filter chamber with a perforated base
4. Original internal perforated distributor/press disc with central handle
5. Silver-plated lid with decorative stylized handle
Condition:
Excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or deep scratches. The glass inserts are pristine. The silver-plated metal parts show a beautiful, authentic golden-brown aged patina due to natural oxidation over the decades. It can easily be polished to a mirror-shine finish using standard silver cleaner if desired by the buyer. All parts fit together perfectly.
