This silver-plated Art Deco 'MIXIT' cocktail shaker dates to 1930 in the Art Deco style, constructed from electro-plated nickel silver with a polished silver finish. The cylindrical, tapered body stands on a stepped circular base and features horizontal stepped mouldings around the neck and shoulder, alongside two small side lugs and a stepped cap with a rotating top window mechanism displaying recipe text. Visible details include a rectangular display window set into the top cap, rounded side handles, and clean metallic surfaces reflecting light. Measuring 26 cm high by 8.9 cm wide and 8.9 cm deep, the piece sits well upon a sideboard top in a contemporary dining room, living room, or home bar as a functional drinks preparation item or decorative display object.

An Art Deco recipe cocktail shaker is a metal vessel manufactured during the 1920s to 1930s that includes an integrated mechanical sleeve or rotating cap. By turning the outer cylinder or top section, cut-out windows reveal ingredient measurements for classic cocktail recipes.

These shakers typically feature a base metal substrate, such as nickel silver or electroplated britannia metal (EPBM), coated in a layer of electroplated silver. The interior often contains tin or silver lining to protect against acidic liquids.

Authentic C S Green MIXIT shakers display stamped makers marks on the base, often including C S G & Co or patent registration details. The upper section contains a rotating dial mechanism with specific vintage recipe names visible through small rectangular apertures.

Style the shaker on a wooden sideboard, brass drink trolley, or within a mirrored display cabinet alongside period glassware. Combining metallic barware with polished tray surfaces highlights the geometric Art Deco silhouette.

Clean silver-plated barware using mild soap, warm water, and a non-abrasive cloth, ensuring the piece is thoroughly dried immediately after. Apply specialized silver polish occasionally with a soft cloth to remove natural oxidisation and tarnish without stripping the plating.
