This fabulous late 19th-century soda siphon, with its glass body encased in an intricately woven cane cover, is a fine example of French bistro and barware from the era. The siphon is equipped with a sturdy pewter spigot, ensuring durability, and a weighty ceramic base that provides stability. These siphons were commonly used in bistros and bars across France, offering a practical yet stylish way to serve carbonated water. The combination of materials—glass, pewter, and ceramic—along with the craftsmanship of the cane cover, reflects the utilitarian elegance that characterized everyday items in France during this period.
