This original Italian Air Force Water Carafe brings authentic military heritage directly to your tabletop.
Officer Messroom Origin
Originally fielded for the officer dining halls of the Aeronautica Militare, this container was made for serving table water and decanting house wine. Featuring a 1-litre capacity and a flared top rim, the wide base promotes aeration while allowing smooth pouring during formal mess meals.
Etched Insignia & Solid Glass
Each vessel is molded from thick clear glass to handle routine mess service without easy chipping. The front is decorated with the official etched crown and eagle logo positioned over a central propeller motif, confirming authentic military supply issue.
Modern Tabletop & Barware Utility
Standing 24.5 cm tall, its slim neck provides a comfortable grip when serving beverages at home. Whether used as a wine decanter, water jug, or display item on a collector shelf, it combines military function with practical everyday style.
Upgrade your dining table or militaria display with an authentic piece of Italian Air Force messware.
This item was used by the Italian Airforce during the Late Cold War (1961–1991) and is in Grade 1 condition. It is in very good condition with plenty of life left. We recommend giving it a wash before wearing.
Grade 1 represents solid, fully functional military surplus that has been deployed or issued but remains in great usable condition with plenty of life left.
- Functionality: 100% field-ready. All main zippers, press studs, drawstrings, and buckles work as intended with no critical faults.
- Fabric & Wear: Structurally sound with light cosmetic wear, minor abrasion, or subtle fading from normal military use and laundering.
- Markings & Personalisation: May feature soldier names, unit numbers, service markings, or light depot stamps written on tags or fabric.
- Repairs: May include neat, professional military-standard stitches or minor reinforcement patches that do not compromise gear integrity.
- Storage & Cleanliness: Gear is serviceable straight out of the box, though a standard initial wash or airing is recommended to clear typical military surplus storage scent and minor handling dust.
