This remarkable Model 735D thermos by Aldo Tura, manufactured by Tura Milano during the late 1950s, features an elegant elongated body with a subtly tapered cylindrical silhouette. The exterior is entirely covered in rich red parchment, finished with a glossy protective surface that enhances the depth and intensity of its vibrant coloration. The body is decorated with an elaborate hand-painted medieval equestrian scene, depicting an armored knight holding a lance while riding a stylized horse. The illustrations are executed in warm golden and ochre tones, outlined in black, creating a striking contrast against the deep red background. The decorative composition extends around the cylindrical body, revealing different details of the horse and rider from each viewing angle. The thermos is completed by a satin-finished brass upper section and a gracefully curved brass side handle, both contributing to its refined and luxurious appearance. Its distinctive combination of parchment, hand-painted decoration, and metal detailing reflects the sophisticated craftsmanship associated with Aldo Tura's creations.
