This impressive antique Dröppelminna from the 19th century is a real gem for lovers of historical home decor. With a height of 42 cm, it impresses with its elegant body made of tin, which rests on a shapely base made of cherry wood.

Thanks to only a few signs of wear, it is in remarkable condition - a museum collector's item with high historical value.

The Dröppelminna is a traditional Bergisch coffee pot that has its origins in the Rhine-Ruhr region. The name is derived from the Low German word "dröppeln" (to drip) , as the pot often dripped slightly after use. Originally it was used for ceremonial coffee preparation, usually standing on a warmer to keep the contents warm. Due to its elaborate production, it was a status symbol of wealthy households and was often used on special occasions.

Decoration idea: Today, this magnificent Dröppelminna can be used as a stylish decorative object. It looks particularly good on an antique buffet, in a cozy country kitchen or as an elegant eye-catcher in a display cabinet. Alternatively, it can serve as an unusual vase for dried flowers or eucalyptus branches, which really brings out its nostalgic charm.

A unique piece of historical everyday culture – perfect for collectors and lovers of antique home accessories!
