40 inches tall. This antique cylindrical water cooler or beverage dispenser is constructed of metal and decorated with a hand-painted trompe l’oeil faux oak grain finish. The vessel features a matching domed lid topped with a turned finial and is fitted with two semi-circular handles at the sides. A brass-toned metal spigot is mounted to the lower body of the dispenser. The interior of the cooler and the underside of the lid are lined with galvanized metal. The numeral 4 is embossed on the interior of the lid, indicating a four-gallon capacity. The object is supported by a flared circular base.
