An iconic mid-century modern inspired hand-blown glass coffee carafe in the classic Chemex form, accompanied by its circular brass warming stand. Featuring the elegant hourglass silhouette that has become synonymous with timeless coffee brewing design, the vessel is crafted of heat-resistant clear glass with an integrated pouring spout and applied vertical glass handle. The accompanying brass stand, raised on ball feet, develops a rich naturally aged patina that complements the minimalist transparency of the glass vessel. Originally intended for use over a gentle heat source such as a spirit burner or candle warmer (not included), the stand transforms the piece into both a functional serving vessel and a sculptural tabletop accent. Designed with the philosophy that exceptional industrial design should combine beauty and utility, this elegant coffee server reflects the enduring influence of laboratory-inspired glassware on modern domestic design. Whether displayed in a mid-century collection, used for serving coffee, or incorporated into a contemporary kitchen, it remains an instantly recognizable and highly collectible form. A refined example of functional modernist design appealing to collectors of Chemex, Scandinavian and American modernism, coffee culture, and decorative glass.

  • Circa: Mid to Late 20th Century
  • Condition: Very good vintage condition. The glass carafe is free from visible chips, cracks, or repairs and retains excellent clarity. The brass warming stand exhibits an attractive aged patina, light oxidation, and minor surface wear consistent with age and use.
