Crystal cocktail shaker with gilded metal fittings, Italian mid‑century craftsmanship, dating to the 1950s–1960s; height 20 cm, width 9 cm, depth 9 cm.
Description from the seller
Elegant crystal cocktail shaker with gilded metal parts, Italian production dating back to the 1960s, a period of great refinement in the design of bar accessories.
The body is made of pressed transparent crystal, characterized by dense geometric relief detailing that gives great brilliance and a remarkable luminous effect. The surfaces are well defined and provide a pleasant tactile sensation, typical of high-quality objects of the era.
The upper part consists of metallic elements with a gold finish, well proportioned and harmoniously integrated with the crystal body. The contrast between the crystal's transparency and the warm tone of the gold metal fully recalls the Italian mid-century aesthetic, making the shaker an object of decorative as well as functional value.
An ideal piece for collectors of vintage bar accessories, for vintage furnishings or to be displayed on a 1950s–1960s style bar cart. It naturally fits elegant contexts, Italian mid-century modernism, and interiors inspired by postwar design.
Condition: good overall condition, with normal signs of aging compatible with the object's age and use, which do not compromise its overall aesthetics.
Proper packaging and trackable shipping across Europe.
