Faceted glass " Carbonated WATER"

A cup holder with the inscription "Carbonated WATER" made of genuine leather under the famous "Mukhinsky" (or "Malenkovsky") faceted glass, composed by the author of "Worker and Collective Farmer" in 1942. This glass has deservedly become a model of Soviet industrial design and the era as a whole.

And here are a couple of facts from the history of the inscription:
Do you know to whom we owe the appearance of a vending machine for carbonated water? Johann Jakob Schwepp, a watchmaker and jeweler, entrepreneur and amateur inventor from Geneva. It was he who in 1783 invented an industrial plant for the production of mineral water artificially saturated with carbon dioxide (industrial saturator). Later in England, he founded a company selling carbonated water. Now it is the company "Schweppes".

And on April 16, 1932, the newspaper Vechernaya Moskva wrote: " An employee of the Leningrad plant "Vienna" Agroshkin invented an interesting device. In each store, through this device, it is possible to establish the production of carbonated water. The first saturator... it is already ready and installed in the Smolny dining room".

In the USSR, the sale of goods and services through street vending machines began to develop actively since the late 1950s.
In Moscow alone, about 10 vending machines for carbonated water were installed. Such machines could be found on the street or in public places (at train stations, in the foyer of cinemas and near them, near large shops and public shopping centers, markets, squares, parks, etc.).
