Description
This carafe represents Aldo Tura's celebrated barware at its most refined and pictorial.
The slender, tapering body is covered in lacquered goatskin parchment dyed a deep emerald green, with the translucent depth and fine grain typical of the material. On the front, a beautifully hand-painted golden figure depicts a crowned queen in profile, richly adorned with jewels and regal robes. An angled brass pouring spout crowns the top, while a shaped brass handle arcs from the side. The base retains the original green "Creazione Tura – Italy" foil label with the horseshoe emblem, together with the handwritten model number 1278.
Design & Function
Conceived as an insulated thermos carafe for serving drinks at the bar or table, it combines practicality with theatrical elegance: the brass spout pours, the handle gives a secure grip, and the insulated interior keeps liquids at temperature. Equally, it stands as a striking sculptural object on a bar cart, console or sideboard.
The pairing of regal gold decoration and deep green parchment makes it both a functional carafe and a genuine display piece.
Materials & Aesthetic
The carafe showcases Tura's signature pairing of lacquered goatskin parchment and brass, here elevated by the hand-painted golden figure. The luminous emerald parchment, the jewel-like gold decoration and the warm brass fittings combine into the theatrical, luxurious aesthetic that defines the best of Aldo Tura's production.
The parchment preserves a beautiful, luminous surface, with the natural variations, veining and minor signs of age inherent to the material.
