Description

A bottle warmer in the shape of an elephant. The elegant elephant has an upturned trunk and small indentations for the eyes. The cavity for the bottle is surrounded with an orange collar. This example is complete with a tool for lifting the heated bottle out of the device. Many sellers of this piece believe it is designed by Luigi Colani but this seems unlikely.
