A lovely Art Deco cocktail shaker. This heavy piece features clear crystal with a stunning pressed glass Art Deco pattern with chrome accents (rim, lid, and cap). The raised pattern is simply stunning. We tried to capture it in photos (see #4); the pattern and texture "feathers" out and is raised. 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: Very 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 chrome accents have some very mild tarnish
3) There's very minor what we refer to as "surface wear" on the chrome accents (ie micro fine scrapes, etc) purely from past handling, how it was stored, etc.
4) There's mild tarnish to the underside/strainer area of the lid as well as a small spot to the lid's interior (see photo #4)
In short, this vintage shaker is in very 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!
