 |
|
I've been looking for this carafe for several years (have seen many similar but nothing really close), and last week my brother found the exact one seen at the Tyrell Corporation on the table when Rachel is VKed.
[Also, I haven't seen any postings here at Propsummit of the carafe, though I may have missed them in searching this site.]
We live in Los Angeles, and befitting Blade Runner we found it here.
For reference you can see a good image of the carafe at "Los Angeles, 2019" at the below link:
http://tyrell-corporation.pp.se//gallery/images/High%20Defenition%20Captures/BRFC_%23028420.png
You'll notice the base is distinctive from what you'll usually find in crystal carafes.
The base is 5" in diameter and the height is 11.25" from the base to the top of the lion.
The top is silver plate and there is no maker's mark.
I'm not sure of the country of origin, though I'd guess Germany or England.
The first photo below is shot from the same angle as the above referenced image, and with similar lighting.
The rest of the photos are shot with high-key lighting to show details.

Good catch, congrats !

Very good catch indeed!  You're probably right about it's origin; English or German made...maybe late 1800, early 1900. Lord knows that popular design were copied and produced (yes, it has been the trend since man is man  )by other countries. Maybe that's why there's no markings on the carafe. |

That looks dead on all right. I think the ones posted before were just close. I would check on the inside of the top for markings. They often hid them in hard to see places. The Bacchus theme might indicate Italian origin. It pretty much has to be a wine carafe too. Though the Lion could indicate English, or even French. Germany isn't out of the question though, but Roman mythology is rarer there. Brilliant find, and welcome to propsummit
