Soda Siphon – Heimsyphon Berlin 1920

Berlin experienced perhaps its most glorious period in the 1920s. As one of Europe's cultural centres, many new products came onto the market. This was also the case with the Sparklets seltzer bottles, which enjoyed great popularity in Germany under the name Heimsyphon.

Berlin in the 1920s

In the 1920s, the shadows of war receded, and Berlin blossomed into one of the world's most significant metropolises. In art, Dadaism and Art Deco emerged; scientists like Einstein and Heisenberg revolutionised the way modern physics was conceived. It was a time of opulence, excess, and unbridled revelry.

Alongside champagne and spirits, Sparklets brand soda siphons were also a must-have. Produced and sold in Germany under the name Heimsyphon, they represent high-quality luxury. Today, surviving Heimsyphon soda siphons from that era are rare collector's items, reminiscent of the „Golden Twenties.“.

Scope of delivery

The soda siphon is a so-called C-type (meaning the cartridge holder remains on the seltzer bottle during operation, which is characteristic of the 1920s models). The hand-blown glass bottle was manufactured in Czechoslovakia between 1920 and 1930.
