Designed as a juice decanter, the "Kremlin Kellots" would hold water in the lower body and juice in the upper. It was possible for the purchaser to select alternate colour combinations between the upper and lower bodies. The present model was exhibited in 1957 at the XI Milan Triennale, winning the Grand Prix.
