AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Ancient, large transfer funnel also called Salvavina, because, due to its special shape, it prevented the wine from spilling out. These funnels were made entirely by hand, beaten and hammered, and came in various sizes, with a filter/grasparola. Typically, funnels of this large size were professional for cellar workers. A great collectible item but also suitable as rustic decor. Please view all the photographs which are an integral part of the lot.
