1950s Mid-Century Modern Fake Tortoise Shell Bakelite and Brass Thermos Carafe

About the Item

This 1950s Mid-Century Modern thermos carafe combines functional design with a touch of luxury through its use of Bakelite and brass. The body of the carafe is made from Bakelite, crafted to resemble tortoise shell, a popular motif in mid-century decor for its warm, amber-brown tones and marbled appearance. This faux tortoise shell finish gives the carafe a rich, vintage look, blending organic texture with a sleek, modern silhouette. The carafe is accented with brass detailing, adding a refined, metallic contrast to the warm, earthy tones of the Bakelite. Brass is used for the handle and lid each polished to a gleaming finish that complements the lustrous surface of the Bakelite. The handle, likely an elegantly curved shape, is both practical and stylish, characteristic of the Mid-Century Modern emphasis on form following function. The lid is designed to keep beverages insulated, and it includes a brass finial or knob for easy handling. Altogether, this thermos carafe exemplifies the Mid-Century Modern style, merging innovative materials like Bakelite with timeless design elements, making it both a functional beverage accessory and a decorative tabletop piece. It's in lovely original vintage condition, brass it's in original patina.
