Abstract
The invention is directed to a glass carafe (1) for storing a brewed beverage, comprising a glass vessel (2) having at its upper end (23) an opening (28) bounded by a rim (34). Affixed to the rim (34) is a plastic ring structure (30) provided with a pouring spout (39) and composed of a first (31), second (32) and third (33) ring. The third ring (33) serves as an outer boundary for the opening (28). The second ring (32) bears against the rim (34) of the glass vessel (2) from above. The first ring (31) engages from above within the opening (28) of the glass vessel (2) by resilient fastening elements (35). An annular circumferential neck (26) is formed on the glass vessel (2) below the rim (34). The fastening elements (35) resiliently engage the inside of the neck (26) from above, resting flush against the inner wall ( 27) in the area of the neck (26). Both the third ring (33) and the first ring (31) extend at a relative distance to the opening (28). This results in a durable firm seat of the plastic ring structure (30) on the glass vessel (2) also under the effect of frequent high temperatures.
