Large Rice or Bran Transformation Vase. After Martinka & Co., ca. 1890. Impressive nickel-plated vase mysteriously changes a large quantity of rice or bran into a quantity of spring balls, an orange, or other solid objects. Unlike similar devices, a spring loaded mechanism causes appearance of the object(s) inside the vase from a concealed position in the lid. Diameter 6? at mouth, height 13?. Shows wear expected from age, but good condition. Rare.
