The wire bail that doubles as the carry handle is never named: the maker's FAQ says the wire is drawn and bent in a workshop in southern Germany, not what metal it is. And nothing describes the inside of the bottle. \"Plastic-free\" is a blanket claim on the page that itemizes nothing, so a liner or lacquer in the water path can't be ruled out. The plain silver finish isn't described either. The maker ships only to Germany, Austria and France.",
