Emsa Rio 1980s West German retro vacuum flask. Vintage iconic cone-shaped triangular. Teal peacock blue/black. Plastic/melamine serving jug

An iconic West German 1980s vacuum flask. Made by Emsa design, West Germany, it's the 'RIO' design - design no 0644-10.

The plastic/melamine hot water/tea/coffee storing and serving jug is lined with glass, just like an insulated Thermos flask, and will keep your drink piping hot for ages (tested for 2 hours and it was still very hot). The conical screw top lid forms a seal, and just needs loosening or removing to pour. A more unusual teal or peacock blue finish with black plastic trim. A beautiful cone shape, 24cm high x 15cm widest. It's around 950ml capacity, so over 1.5 pints... enough for 3 to 4 mugs of coffee. Stamped to base with "Emsa Rio. Made in W. Germany. Art-Nr. 0644-10. Glas-Nr. 9644-10."

Very good condition for age and era. Some small surface marks and scuffs. The glass internally has some loss of colour, but is fully functional.

Pure pop/retro design... Perfect for display and for a collection, or for serving coffee in a your retro man-cave or out in the Campervan!
