Pyrex Flameproof Coffee Carafe with Warming Stand – Gold Leaf Pattern, Mid-Century Modern

Description :
This vintage Pyrex Flameproof coffee carafe and warmer set embodies the clean sophistication of 1950s–60s design. The clear borosilicate glass vessel is decorated with hand-applied 22K gold leaf motifs in a stylized foliage pattern, accompanied by a black Bakelite handle and polished brass lid and collar. The carafe rests elegantly on a copper-plated metal warming stand complete with a candle or alcohol burner cup, allowing it to function as both a serving piece and a statement centerpiece.
