Silex Vintage Complete Silex Pyrex Vacuum Coffee Maker, Red Bakelite

A vintage Silex vacuum coffee maker constructed from clear Pyrex glass with deep burgundy Bakelite handles. The two-part stovetop brewer includes the upper brewing bowl with lid, lower serving bowl, glass filter stem with spring and chain, and flower-shaped metal heat diffuser. Pyrex pieces are marked “Made in U.S.A.” An exceptionally good-looking example of early American kitchen design, complete enough to display assembled or separated. Approximately 6 W x 6 D x 11 H assembled. Good vintage condition with scratches, discoloration and oxidation to the metal components, finish wear along the Bakelite handles, and residue or staining inside the lower bowl. Glass shows normal surface wear. No obvious chips or breaks observed. Brewing function has not been tested, so it is offered as a collectible vintage appliance.
