This is a forensic, matter-of-fact description of a copper alembic used for distilling flowers, located in Dolceacqua, Italy. The alembic is comprised of two main components: a large cylindrical vessel on the left, which likely served as the boiling chamber, and a bulbous retort on the right, connected to a tall column. The cylindrical vessel on the left is made of hammered copper and is elevated on a black metal stand with three legs. It features two black ring handles on its sides and a brass spigot at the bottom. A coiled copper pipe emerges from the top of this vessel and connects to the retort. The retort on the right is also made of copper and is more intricately shaped. It is mounted on a black metal stand with four legs, two of which are visible. The retort has several brass fittings, including a valve-like element and a threaded opening. A tall copper pipe extends upwards from the retort, connecting to a horizontal pipe that runs towards the left. Behind the alembic is a dark gray, flat surface, possibly a wall or partition. To the right of the alembic, a black informational plaque is mounted on the dark surface. The plaque has text in Italian, accompanied by a logo at the bottom. The environment appears to be indoors, with a stone floor visible in the foreground and a textured, light-colored ceiling above. The lighting is somewhat dim, creating subtle highlights and shadows on the copper surfaces. No people or animals are present in the image.
