The slender, tapered object sits on a round brass base decorated with a subtle etching along the perimeter, echoing the upper edge where the flared neck rests.
The body is covered in parchment with ash and black hues, arranged irregularly to create a textured, sophisticated effect, typical of Tura's work. The long neck with pouring spout and the clean, geometric brass handle lend a sophisticated, sculptural look, combining functionality and aesthetics.
The interior, lined with insulating material, is designed to keep drinks at the optimal temperature. This model fully expresses Aldo Tura's signature style: a combination of luxury, craftsmanship, and innovative materials, made even rarer by the distinctive gray parchment color, less common than the brown or green versions.
A functional yet decorative object, it represents a testament to high-end Italian design from the 1960s, ideal for collectors and for spaces furnished with iconic pieces of the period.
