Icy-Hot Bottle Co Cincinnati Insulated Pitcher Vintage Nickel Plated Carafe

Before the modern thermos took over the kitchen table, Cincinnati's Icy-Hot Bottle Co. was making insulated bottles, carafes and pitchers meant to keep drinks hot or cold for hours. This nickel-plated pitcher comes from that early-1900s era of table-top insulated ware. It has the sturdy, handsome look that collectors of vintage kitchenalia, camp and farmhouse décor, and early Americana tend to love. It would look great on a sideboard, a open shelf or a bar cart.
