Pyrex Flameware Percolators were invented in the 1930's and reached their peak of popularity in the middle of the century, when they began to be upstaged by electric percolators made of stainless steel. This 4-cup unit is fully intact and in amazing condition with the coffee basket, diffuser plate, lid, and handle all in perfect shape with no chips, cracks, or scratches. It's clean inside and out, even under the cleaned and polished handle band! There are no significant stains or scratches and no visible dishwasher damage.
Pyrex is a great material for coffeemakers, because unlike metal, the glass will not react with the acids and oils in coffee or impart any metallic taste... and it rinses completely clean! Percolators are a great way to make coffee on a gas stove during a power failure. Fill the pot with water and the basket with coffee, then place on the flame until it comes to a boil. As soon as the water boils and begins to rise up the tube, turn the gas to low and let it perk for 10 minutes, or to your desired strength. It also works on an electric stove, but you need a heat diffuser clip. I don't have the original, but I've included a new one. Carefully packed and cheerfully shipped for free in the US!
