Vase for converting coffee beans to hot coffee

The magician shows the nickel plated vase full of coffee beans and the cover is then placed over it. After a magic flourish the cover is removed and the vase is found to be full of hot coffee. The ornamental knob that should adorn the top of the cover is missing. From the style of manufacture the item is probably of German origin, possibly from Bartl.
