Description

An aseptic porcelain inhaler with all accessories, which was manufactured in Thuringia by Rauenstein in second-half of the 19th century.All parts are decorated with the straw flower pattern in blue under glaze and have a ribbed base.  It is a complete set, with salt bowl, evaporation cup and spirit burner. Even the glass tubes are undamaged. The inhaler is in very good condition for its age, there is a fine hairline crack inside the warmer, but this is not visible from the outside. Otherwise no damage. The cork has become dry and brittle over time, but it can be easily replaced. The inhaler shows very few signs of use. It is unmarked, as is often the case with such pieces. However, due to the decoration  it can with certainty be attributed to the Rauenstein  factory.
