Antique Copper Still with Coil

Authentic copper still, a device traditionally used for distilling alcoholic beverages (such as brandy), essential oils, and aromatic essences. This specific model, with its darkened finish and robust construction, is sought after for both functional use and rustic decoration.

Part Components

• Caldera (Cucurbita): A rounded base with side handles where the liquid to be distilled is heated.
• Helmet (Capitellum): The onion-shaped upper part that collects vapors.
• Swan neck: The curved tube that carries vapors from the helmet to the condenser.
• Condenser with coil: The structure with the spiral tube, where the vapor cools and returns to a liquid state.

Manufacturing Details

• Material: High-quality copper, hand-hammered, which helps in the purity of the distillate and gives it an artisanal look.
• Technique: Riveted joints, a traditional technique that ensures a tight seal and reinforces the antique aesthetic.
• Natural patina developed over the years.
• Robust handcrafted construction

Ideal for collectors of rural antiques, enthusiasts of artisanal distillation, or as a characterful decorative piece in rustic settings, cellars, or themed spaces. It represents the Portuguese tradition of artisanal brandy production.
