With Love From Absolut ELYX VODKA Copper Pineapple Serving Pitcher HAWAIIANA:
$49.99

This Copper drinking vessel is shaped like a pineapple and was made for Absolut Elyx Vodka. You can use it like a drinking cup (just slide in a straw and kiss your liver goodbye) or as a mixing pitcher / serving vessel.

In original box, but appears to be gently used.

American colonists began importing the pineapple from the Caribbean in the 17th century. Due to its seemingly exotic qualities and rareness, the pineapple soon became a symbol of hospitality in early America. Because trade routes between America and Caribbean Islands were often slow and perilous, it was considered a significant achievement from a host to procure a ripe pineapple for guests.

Similarly, some accounts tell of New England sea captains who, upon returning from trade routes in the Caribbean or Pacific, would place a pineapple outside their homes as a symbol of a safe return. There was even a period where you could rent a pineapple for decor (getting a hefty deposit back when it was returned in still usable condition).

Due to its association with warmth and friendliness, pineapples in America were often used as the \"crowning\" piece in large displays of food. The pineapple symbol was also used frequently in the 18th and 19th centuries to decorate bed posts, tablecloths, napkins, and anything associated with welcoming guests.

Today, the pineapple remains a fitting symbol for the hospitality industry, and pineapple-themed products still abound. From lamps to candle holders to salt and pepper shakers and beyond, the pineapple motif says...\"WELCOME\"
