Wine and Water Separation. Flein: Rüdiger Deutsch, ca. 2000. Red and white wine are poured from separate glasses into a decanter resting on the centermost of three stands supported by claw feet. The glasses and decanter are then concealed by three finely made metal pyramid-like covers. When revealed again, the wines have vanished from the decanter and reappeared – separated – in the glasses from which they were first poured. Height of tallest piece 12 ¾”. One of six manufactured. Near fine.Modeled on a French design and exquisitely screen and hand painted, the craftsmanship and quality of the apparatus offered here – from base to acorn finials - cannot be overstated.
