This vintage Art Deco cocktail shaker dates to c.1940 and belongs to the barware category. The cylindrical body comprises silver-plated metal paired with gold-plated brass sections, displaying silver and gold colours throughout. A stepped cap lid sits atop the shoulder, while rotating recipe dial mechanics include windowed ingredient listings, engraved recipe names along the rotating brass band, and vertical alignment marks. The piece measures 22.2 cm high, 8.6 cm wide, and 8.6 cm deep. Suitable for placement on a sideboard top or home bar setup, this barware accessory allows users to align a selection arrow with a chosen drink name to reveal the precise ingredient proportions through the integrated viewing windows. The polished metallic finish creates reflective surfaces that capture surrounding light, lending a decorative accent to entertaining spaces while serving its practical mixing function.

FAQs

A recipe cocktail shaker features an integrated dial or sleeve that rotates to show cocktail names alongside exact ingredient measurements through small aperture windows.

Mid-century cocktail shakers were predominantly manufactured from electroplated nickel silver, solid brass, chrome-plated metal, and occasionally glass or stainless steel.

Authentic Art Deco barware features distinct geometric forms, period makers marks or stamps, substantial metal weight, and age-appropriate surface patina or wear to internal solder seams.

Display vintage barware on a dedicated drinks trolley, marble sideboard, or open kitchen shelving alongside crystal glassware and metallic trays to create a focused entertainment area.

Clean silver-plated barware by hand using warm water and mild soap, apply specialized non-abrasive silver polish to tarnish, and dry thoroughly to prevent moisture damage.
