Vintage Swedish Handarbete Brass Music Box Lantern | Decanter Novelty Dispenser

Description: A vintage mid-century Swedish novelty musical liquor decanter styled in the form of a rustic carriage lantern. Built with a polished sheet-brass frame, four clear textured or wavy glass side window panels, a tall swinging wire bail handle, and protective exterior cross-wire guards. The top features a removable brass chimney-style cylinder cap fitted with an internal natural cork stopper plug. This cap lifts away to reveal the molded pour spout of a internal clear glass bottle hidden within the brass frame structure. Dimensions: Stands approximately 10.25 inches in height to the top of the chimney cap, extending to 14.25 inches high with the wire handle fully raised, by 4 inches wide. Markings: The solid brass undercarriage base plate is stamped with an authentic manufacturer hallmark reading "HANDARBETE / MADE IN SWEDEN", verifying its traditional hand-worked Scandinavian production origin. The bottom plate also houses the manual winding key lever and a mechanical release pin for the internal clockwork music box movement. Condition: Good vintage condition, Fully functional. The main structural brass frame and glass panels are solid and free of chips, cracks, or deep breaks. The exterior brass surfaces show a beautiful naturally aged semi-gloss patina with scattered tarnish spots, minor surface scuffs, and small spots of discoloration localized near the corner joints from storage age. The music box mechanism winds and operates perfectly. The original internal glass decanter bottle is intact, and the top cork insert operates perfectly.
