Vintage Zojirushi Elephant Brand Floral Air Pot

This is a vintage vacuum-insulated air pot, likely manufactured in Japan by Zojirushi (Elephant Brand) during the 1970s or early 1980s. The cylindrical body is constructed of enameled metal featuring a cream-white background decorated with a vibrant, retro botanical motif of orange and yellow poppies with green foliage. The upper pumping mechanism and lid are made of a thick, cream-colored molded plastic with contrasting dark brown accents on the dispensing lever and the collar ring. It features a fold-down carrying handle and a push-button dispensing system. On the upper left of the body, a small square silver-and-black manufacturer's label is visible. In terms of condition, the item shows moderate signs of age and use, including surface grime on the plastic handle, minor scuffs and scratches on the enameled metal body, and visible wear on the brown plastic components. The botanical lithograph remains largely intact with deep color saturation typical of the era's kitchenware aesthetics. This piece reflects the 'mid-century modern' to '70s kitsch' design style, valued for its dual utility and decorative appeal.
