The cocktail shaker was the rage during the 1920s and 30s.
Shakers in fancy shapes helped mask their purpose during
Prohibition. During the Depression shakers lent a glamorous
touch to get-togethers, an image immortalized in Hollywood
movies of that time. Cocktails are back in fashion, with antique
shakers in short supply, and if found, at sky-high prices. Our
thirst extinguishers will be a welcome accessory to upscale
watering holes of this world. Be they private or public, they
will earn their place facing the mirrors.
All cocktail shakers are of
handmade brass construction, nickel-plated on the outside and
sterling silver-plated on the inside. Shakers are made from
originals acquired at London's finest art auctions; these are
all twenties and thirties style novelty shakers. Produced to
reflect the quality and lifestyle of the period; eccentric and
functional, with original cork details and threaded caps. Food
grade safe. Packaged with leather-accented bags, lined with red
flannel for easy gift giving. Also includes a story card with
full narrative and explanation.

We won't see the likes of them ever again. Floating palaces,
huge contraptions of steel and teak wood, smokestacks big enough
to park a truck in. Glittering ballrooms, luxury Ritz
restaurants, smoky lounges and bars. Cocktails and happy hour,
Dom Perignon and Veuve Clicquot. Walking by the moonlight on
A-Deck, holding hands, looking out over a silvery sea. Running
like clockwork, from South Hampton to New York, Hamburg to
Boston, Le Havre to Rio. For the fortunate, a passage through
Panama and on to Hawaii and Hong Kong. In celebration of these
majestic Liners we have created a small collection of steamer
memorabilia, using the railings, air intakes and smoke stacks as
icons. Each product is crafted from hand turned and shaped metal
and wood parts to reclaim that special feel. Relive memories of
your most beloved cruise voyage. Our wine coaster holds a
traditional size bottle of wine.
