GIANT COFFEE VASE. After Martinka & Co., ca. 1890. Finely made nickel plated vase into which cotton is stuffed and set ablaze; when the lid is lifted, the burning cotton has changed into coffee beans. The vase is covered again and when the lid is lifted a second time, the beans have transformed into hot coffee which may be served to the audience. Unusual combination of gimmicks not often encountered. Height 17 ??. Minor denting; good condition. Uncommon in this size.
