{"product_id":"vintage-crystal-cocktail-shaker-by-wmf-art-deco-design","title":"Vintage Crystal Cocktail Shaker by WMF, Art Deco Design","description":"\u003cp\u003eA stunning Art Deco cocktail shaker by WMF, 1940s. This heavy piece features clear crystal with a stunning optic swirl pattern and a silver-plated rim, lid, and cap. The swirl pattern is simply gorgeous and is a  tighter swirl at the top and middle and gets a bit wider near the bottom, and fans out. Very Art Deco in style and simply stunning. Heavier in weight, this piece is well-crafted. The pictures don't do it justice. Truly a lovely Art Deco cocktail shaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHallmarks: NS and WMF can be found in micro tiny letters on the underside of the lid\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-olk-copy-source=\"MailCompose\"\u003eA little bit about this manufacturer: Founded in 1853, the \"Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik\" (WMF), translated as \"Württemberg Metal Factory,\" was founded by Daniel Straub and the Schweizer brothers in Geislingen, Germany, initially named \"Metallwarenfabrik Straub \u0026amp; Schweizer\". Through mergers, including with Ritter \u0026amp; Co in 1880, the company became known as WMF, with the \"Württemberg\" part referencing the region where it was established. Renowned for its Art Nouveau designs, WMF created some stunning barware pieces including bar spoons, jiggers, cocktail shakers, and these silver-plated cups. You will often see \"Cromargan\" associated with WMF. WMF \u003ci\u003eacquired the rights to use\u003c\/i\u003e the name \"Cromargan\" (their own trademark for stainless steel) in 1927, launching their famous Cromargan cookware and cutlery lines shortly after, with Cromargan becoming a core material and brand for WMF for decades. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Very, very good vintage condition with a few mild signs of age. This Shaker has been in a display cabinet for decades and doesn't appear to have seen much use. There's some mild tarnish and some general \"age\" that comes purely from time but overall this piece is in great shape. The silver-plating is vibrant. The glass clarity is perfectly clear. In short, this vintage shaker is in great vintage condition. It has a magical feel to it and displays beautifully. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Please Note: we typically do not test our shakers for leakage.
