Description from the seller
CARAFE - FLASK OF SERVICE - SHAKER IN BACCARAT CRYSTAL, WITH ITS ORIGINAL CORK
Timeless elegance and quality of execution characterize this superb and LARGE SHAKER in cut crystal, intended for serving spirits or preparing cocktails. Its sober and refined design highlights a deep vertical cut that admirably catches the light and emphasizes the crystal’s purity.
Equipped with two subtly integrated spouts at the neck, it offers precise pouring and testifies to a design that is as aesthetic as it is functional. Its original cork, perfectly fitted, harmoniously completes the ensemble.
The number 37 engraved on the cork corresponds to the artisanal pairing number of the crystal maker, which is also engraved on the bottom of the Shaker near the BACCARAT France hallmark. This model was manufactured between the late 1930s and the 1950s (During this period, artisans continued to adjust corks individually on pieces with complex shapes while applying the new brand signature).
With its generous weight of almost 2 kg, whether as a whisky carafe, a spirit bottle, or an elegant bar accessory, this piece will appeal to connoisseurs of fine table arts and high-quality crystal. Displayed on a bar cabinet, a sideboard, or a reception table, it will add a touch of distinction and refinement.
Note! There is a very fine, extremely light scratch visible with a loupe, and fine scratches on the cork (friction with the shaker): see the last 3 photos. Nevertheless, this does not diminish its beauty and history, because “the crystal remains sublime despite its vulnerability.”
A piece of fine quality, both decorative and functional, which will naturally find its place in a prestigious BACCARAT collection.
