Vtg Lagostina by Etore Sottsass Stovetop Espresso Moka Maker Pot MCM Memphis Era

Description

Thank you for looking.  This is a fun piece of design by Ettore Sottsass for "accedemia" series by Lagostina of Italy.  This example has been well-used and could use some refinishing and perhaps some de-scaling inside.  There is a little looseness to the handle at the bottom - it pulls away about 1 mm with a little force.  There is also a seal missing but these are pretty standard once you get a measurement for the diameter.  Have a look at all of the pictures to help ascertain the condition.  The colorful versions of these were likely anodized (maybe painted partially) and I'm not sure they did a clear anodization for this piece.  Good candidate for a polish and display.  If you want a moka pot to use I'd recommend a more contemporary stainless version.
That's about it.  Again, have a look at all the pics and let me know if you need more or if you have any questions.  Shipping will be via USPS Priority.  Item may ship disassembled.  Insurance and signature verification at my expense.  Sales tax will likely apply at check out.  Local pick up/inspection are no problem (central San Diego).
