Description from the seller
Antique traditional carbonated water siphons (the ones used to serve seltzer water or beverages like vermouth).
Type and Design
Face or engraved siphon: Molded glass bottles with facets or vertical faces to better resist internal pressure and provide a firmer grip. The siphon on the right stands out for having a carved dispensing spout in the shape of an eagle or bird head, a decorative detail characteristic of the era.
Era
1950s. This model, a green molded bottle with engraved relief on the crystal base and a heavy lead or alloy head, corresponds to the mid-20th century.
Materials and Components
Body / Bottle: Thick molded glass in aquamarine/emerald green. The glass wall is very thick to withstand the pressure of carbon dioxide (CO2).
Head or Spigot: Metal alloy (usually lead, tin, or lead-antimony in that era, coated or painted silver/brown). Lead was used for its malleability and to seal the pressure well.
Inner Tube (Cannula): Old glass that runs from the mouth of the spout down to the bottom of the bottle to expel the liquid by the accumulated pressure.
Lever: Metal integrated into the head that operates the internal valve.
A beauty with many years of age, in good condition for collectors and decorative use. Seltzer water. They may have light scuffs or small glass flaws.

Where art finds a new story
Welcome to ENJOY THE ART & ANTIQUES, a space dedicated to the search, selection, and presentation of works of art, antiques, and collectible objects with character, history, and authenticity.
Our passion arises from the belief that every piece tells a unique story. We do not simply sell objects; we offer fragments of culture, design, craftsmanship, and memory that deserve to be preserved and appreciated by new generations.
Inspired by the spirit of the great international art and collecting platforms, where thousands of buyers seek special and hard-to-find pieces, we carefully select each item to ensure it possesses aesthetic value, historical interest, or collectible singularity.
Our philosophy
At ENJOY THE ART & ANTIQUES we believe that the true value of a work is not measured solely by its age or price, but by its ability to move, inspire, and connect with people.
Therefore, our selection focuses on:
• Old, modern, and contemporary painting.
• European and Oriental antiques.
• Decorative and collectible objects.
• Sculptures and decorative arts.
• Engravings and graphic works.
