Five-Shot Lota. Abbott’s Magic, Colon, Michigan, ca. 1950s.
A diminutive version of the classic Lota Bowl, allowing the performer to repeatedly pour liquid from the vessel after it has seemingly been emptied. Advertised by Abbott’s as capable of producing five successive drinks.
Spun brass construction with the rare chrome-plated finish. Measures approximately 3" high. An uncommon example of this Abbott apparatus, particularly in the chrome-plated version. Shows light wear consistent with age and use. Very good condition.
