This was my Dad's Art-Deco Aladdin 1qt Thermal Carafe. I remember he kept coffee in it on his desk when I was a boy in the 1950s. It stands ~11 1/4" tall, the exterior is all metal, chromed and the barrel has a black wrinkle finish. The liker is a standard replaceble thermos bottle. The top is cork insulated. The bottom reads: Aladdin Industries, Inc., - Aladdin - Made in the USA  - Nashville, Tennessee.
