Buyer's Premium:

This lot comprises two polished stainless steel utility vessels, likely dating from the mid-20th century. The larger item is a cylindrical liquid dispenser with a wide-rimmed opening, featuring horizontal reinforcement bands and dual loop handles at the shoulders. A single-lever spigot tap is fitted to the base. The interior is of fabricated construction with a visible vertical seam and a securing nut for the tap assembly. The smaller item is a pouring jug, similar in form to a traditional milk can, featuring a fixed handle and a tapered, angled spout. It is accompanied by a removable lid designed to sit inverted on the neck, commonly used as a measuring cup. Both pieces exhibit a bright, reflective finish and are devoid of any visible maker’s marks or inscriptions.

Large Dispenser Height: Approximately 30cm
Pouring Jug Height: Approximately 24cm (excluding lid).


Condition report:

Both items are in good vintage condition. The stainless steel surfaces maintain a high-shine finish, though light surface scratches and minor signs of handling are present throughout. There are small areas of oxidation visible around the handle hinges of the pouring jug. The interiors are clean and appear well-maintained.
