A Complete Art Deco Tea / Coffee Urn with power cord by Royal Rochester / Robeson Rochester / Fraunfelter China circa 1929
I can find no chips or cracks on the interior or exterior. Painted in deep, rich colors outlined in black, against a warm tan glaze, enhanced by gleaming, burnished gold embellishments.The surface of the exterior metal pieces show normal wear overall with occasional small areas of roughness, but are for the most part shiny; there\'s some discoloration around the lid\'s opening. The interior is very clean, with some dark spots around the bottom from coffee as you would expect.
Will be shipped priority and insured. Double boxed and packed with care.
This listing includes the electrified percolator, metal lid with glass finial, percolator basket and cover, percolator stem and a power cord (cord is likely not the original). The handle to the spigot is cinnabar color bakelite. The raised feet appear to be chromium plated. I believe this makes about 6-7 cups.
Measures approximately 14 ¾ inches high and 10 inches from handle to handle.

The date stamp on the bottom, C-29, indicates it was likely manufactured in the 3rd quarter of 1929.
The “Modernistic” pattern made its debut during the Christmas season of 1928. Since it was only available for a year or so, it makes the pattern rare and somewhat hard to find today.
