Marketed in a 1925 advertisement as the perfect service for use at the bedside, this insulated beverage carafe and tray are a visual match for the set that appears in photographs of the Wormser bedroom from 1930. However, Elaine remembered her set as pale green. Placed on a shelf of Elaine’s bedside table, the carafe likely held cold water.
