ABOUT PRODUCTID 10813
The Mercuria bar set from the 1970s, originating in Czechoslovakia, comprises a cocktail shaker (height: 24 cm) and an ice bucket (height: 15.5 cm). Each piece is crafted from transparent glass enclosed in a tightly woven metal mesh in a cool, silvery tone. The mesh features a satin, subtly reflective finish, while chromed details—the shaker's cap, collar, and the ice bucket's lid—add a striking accent. The forms are distinctly geometric and well-proportioned: the shaker is tall and cylindrical, the ice bucket shorter and broader with a central handle on the lid. Both bases are ribbed for enhanced grip and visual interest. The overall design reflects 1970s modernism, with a focus on functionality and the decorative effect of the metal overlay. The set is preserved in very good vintage condition—chrome elements remain shiny and free from tarnish, and the glass shows no chips or cracks. This set speaks in the voice of an era where modernist optimism met everyday ritual. The metallic mesh catches and diffuses light, as if freezing a fragment of an urban evening in the domestic space. The smoothness of the glass beneath the mesh, combined with the coolness of chrome, evokes the atmosphere of contemporary social gatherings, where every movement—from mixing a cocktail to serving ice—became part of a deliberate ritual. The attention to geometric detail and the clarity of form are hallmarks of 1970s Czechoslovakian design, present in every aspect of the set. The Mercuria set can be used as a functional centerpiece in a home bar or as a
