Wine and Water Separation. Two nickeled canisters, a claw-footed brass stand, and a cut glass decanter comprise the props. Wine and water are poured into the decanter from separate glasses, which are then covered with the tubes. The liquid then vanishes from the decanter, only to reappear in the two glasses, separated, as it was at the outset. Unusual valve mechanism in base of decanter. Height of tubes 8 ??. Tubes a vintage set, circa 1900, decanter and brass stand gimmicked by Paul Lembo in 2019.
