Perhaps the best known print advertisement featuring a turn of the century soda fountain was first introduced by The Coca-Cola Company in 1904. It featured five ladies, one gentleman and two children, all elegantly dressed, being served glasses of Coca-Cola by the white coated attendant. The soda fountain itself was beautifully constructed in the Romanesque style, with pillars and arches, marble and masonry. The famous message "Drink Coca-Cola" appeared on ther counter, and again very prominently on the back wall in combination with "Delicious and Refreshing." The soda fountain scene was then framed on both sides with "reason why" advertising. This famous print is the main subject of this collectible teapot. This inaugural piece is made of fine porcelain. The body is entirely relief molded and hand painted, featuring a complete panoramic figural view of how this soda fountain may have looked. The heads and faces have all been separately cast of resin in England for ultimate detailing and then entirely painted by hand. The teapot body and lid are made in Germany.
