Description
Stylish Modernist Old Hall vacuum flask from the Super Avon range. The Super Avon range was designed by Robert Welch in around 1966 and comprised of three taller Avon-range items: the rare vacuum flask, a coffee pot and a water jug. The glass-lined flask and open-topped water jug are hard to find. It’s model number 43851. The flask has a glass lining made by British company Aladdin (designed to able to be easily removed via the base). The thermal jug is designed to be used alongside the Avon range’s sugar bowl and cream jug.
High quality vintage item in a heavier gauge satin 18/8 stainless steel. Made in England by Old Hall, stamped underneath with the Old Hall/Robert Welch logo. Stunning mid century minimalist design (inspired by the Scandinavian designs like Cylinda Line by Arne Jacobsen), with straight tapered sides and neat simple lines.
Very good condition for age and era – perfect for a collector and for display. Untested but looks ok internally and is clean. The bung on the lid does form a good seal. Some small marks to the steel but good for its 1960s vintage.
A good size: 10.5″ or 26.5cm tall. 12cm wide at the base. It’s heavy due to the glass vacuum lining – weighing 1.5kg.
