Wine and Water Separation. Circa. 1915. Three metal cones, three stands, and a glass decanter make up the apparatus. Wine and water are poured in to the decanter from separate glasses, which are then covered with the short cones. The liquid then vanishes from the decanter, reappearing in the two glasses, separated. Largest cone 13? high. Finish worn, good working condition.
