A stunning gold-plated jigger by Valerio Albarello, 1970s. This jigger is breathing and features a vibrant gold-plating (over brass) with a large faceted Swarovski knob handle. No words can express how stunning the crystal knob is; when it catches the light it resembles a rainbow as it's catching multiple colors in all the facets. We didn't do a good job of capturing that as we took photos on a cloudy day. Very Hollywood Regency in style and truly a breath-taking bar measure.
Maker/year: Valerio Albarello, 1970s
Hallmarks: "Valerio Albarello" can be found on the bottom of the jigger
Measurements: Approx 4 1/2" in length (measured from jigger to end of handle/crystal knob).
Condition: Very good vintage condition. The interior is pristine (and appears to have never been used). There's some "wear" that's likely from age and not use including some mild "surface" wear in one small spot (likely due to how it was stored for years) and one very small "rough" spot on the gold-plating (likely a manufacturing (occurrence). These are both very, very subtle (and were impossible to capture in a photo) but we like to be though when it comes to the exact condition of our vintage items. The crystal finial is pristine. Truly a lovely jigger.
We are also selling the matching martin pitcher/glasses set. See other listings!
Cheers!
