A lovely Art Deco cocktail shaker. This heavy piece features clear crystal with a stunning cut glass Art Deco pattern with silver-plated accents (rim, lid, and cap). The cut pattern is simply stunning. Heavy in weight, this piece has a nice weighted feel to it. The pictures don't do it justice. Truly a lovely Art Deco cocktail shaker.
Hallmarks: None
Condition: Good vintage condition with a few mild signs of age. We like to be thorough so here's a full summary:
1) The crystal is perfectly clear (no cloudiness)
2) The silver-plated accents have some very mild tarnish
3) There's very minor what we refer to as "surface wear" on the silver-plated accents (ie micro fine scrapes, etc) purely from past handling, how it was stored, etc.
4) There's a small age spot to the silver-plating on the very corner of the cap's strainer and also a spot on the underside of the lid where the brass is peeking through, the accent portions are silver-plated over brass (see photo #4)
5) There's a small rough spot on one of the cut-out sections of the glass shaker (you can't see it but you can feel it when you run your finger over it).
In short, this vintage shaker is in good condition with very mild signs of age. It has a magical feel to it and displays beautifully.

General vintage glassware disclaimer: Vintage glassware often has imperfections (i.e. tiny bubbles in the glass, an extra spot of gold or enamel that made it on a clear part of the glass, etc -- purely the nature of vintage glassware). Cheers!
