A lovely barware set that includes a silver-plated jigger and long muddler spoon by Bellini, early 1950s. This set is in its original box that includes a black exterior and a red and white satin interior and a brass clasp. The jigger features Art Deco handles and the bar spoon features a twisted stem and a textured muddler end. The jigger, when places on a glass rim, is referred to as a "roll over" or bottoms up jigger as you place your spirits in the jigger and then "roll over" the contents into the glass. The spoon is extremely heavy in weight and well-crafted and balances on it's flat muddler end when not in use. Truly a stunning barware set. The pictures don't to this set justice; we'll likely reshoot it and add new photos.
Measurements: The jigger measures just shy of 4" from handle to handle -- **please note: make certain the glass(es) you plan to use this on measure less in diameter than the length of this jigger, so the handles can "rest" on the rims; the spoon measures approx. 10" in length
Hallmarks: "Bellini" can be found on the box as well as on the bottom of the jigger; the spoon does not contain any hallmarks.
Condition: The jigger and spoon are in excellent condition and appear to be unused. Beyond a bit of tarnish, they're near pristine. Please note: the spoon will balance perfectly on the muddler base; however it has a slight lean to it. The box, however, is in "Fair" condition and shows very noticeable signs of age, mostly to the top and bottom exterior of the box. The interior box is also in "Fair" condition as the silk has yellowed over the years and the paper that covers the top lid interior is showing age/wear. In short, the jigger and spoon are in great shape and the box is in "fair" shape. Cheers!
