Baccarat - Cocktail shaker - Massena - Crystal

CARAFE - FLACON OF SERVICE - SHAKER MOD 1 IN CRYSTAL FROM BACCARAT, WITH ITS ORIGINAL STOPPER

Timeless elegance and craftsmanship define this superb and LARGE SHAKER in cut crystal, intended for serving spirits or preparing cocktails. Its simple yet refined design highlights a deep vertical cut that admirably catches the light and underscores the purity of the crystal.

Equipped with two subtly integrated pour spouts at the neck, it offers precise pouring and demonstrates a design that is as aesthetic as it is functional. Its original stopper, perfectly fitted, completes the ensemble in harmonious fashion.

The number 36 engraved on the stopper corresponds to the artisanal pairing number of the crystal works, which is also engraved on the bottom of the Shaker not far from the BACCARAT France hallmark. This model was manufactured from the late 1930s to the 1950s (During this period, artisans continued to individually adjust the stoppers on pieces with complex shapes while applying the new brand signature).

With its substantial weight of almost 2 kg, whether as a whisky carafe, spirit bottle, or elegant bar accessory, this piece will appeal to connoisseurs of fine decorative arts and high-quality crystal. Displayed on a bar cabinet, a sideboard, or a reception table, it will add a note of distinction and refinement.

Note: there is a very fine, extremely small crack visible under magnification, a small air bubble, and fine scratches on the stopper (due to contact with the shaker) — see the last 3 photos. Nevertheless, this does not detract from its beauty and history, for “the crystal remains sublime despite its vulnerability.”

A piece of fine quality, both decorative and functional, that will naturally find its place in a prestigious BACCARAT collection.
