Like and save for later
Made in Sibiu / Transylvania / Romania / Europe
Vintage from the 1950s
Materials: Glass, metal, plastic
CONDITION: This siphon bottle is in a good vintage condition cleaned on the outside.
The inside wasn't cleaned so there are still sediments.
The glass is thick and heavy and has some imperfections like air bubbles, but they don't take away from the good look of the piece it just adds value to their vintage character.
DIMENSIONS:
Diameter: 4"
Height: 13.1/4"
The siphon is not working anymore, it might be fully functional, but I recommend it for decorative purposes only.
May be used as home/ pub industrial decor.
Its metal nozzle has the head of a bird/serpent spout - gargoyle head design
DETAILS: made in Sibiu / Transylvania / Romania / Europe
Marks on the bottles say: APA GAZOASA STAS 3377 - 52 (water was bottled on a standard law of 1952)

@caroline_mroz Apa means “water.” And I looked up “gazoasa.” And the meaning is “mineral,” or “carbonated.” My soon ex is Romanian and he said that Mineral/Carbonated water is what they mainly drank growing up in Romania. Just as we mainly drink regular water here in the US.

@rlmortensen Unfortunately for BOTH of us this is not uranium glass, my special UV flashlight arrived yesterday, and I immediately was flashing everything! lol How ever I have 2 antique clear glass ink wells, and when I used the flashlight on them, they turned green, not bright neon green, but a green, yellow color, what are your thoughts? I posted pictures, I don't know much about Uranium or Vaseline glass.

Interested in the vase if you can t e x t me? And the inkwells are manganese. If they are clear glass and glow a dull greenish yellow it’s definitely manganese.
