This WMF cocktail shaker from the 1960s exemplifies German barware craftsmanship, blending modernist clarity with distinct Art Deco influences. The transparent body is made of high-quality crystal, presenting two decorative zones: a lower section with precise diamond-cut facets for enhanced grip and visual interest, and an upper section featuring elongated, vertical fluting that lends a sense of architectural slenderness. The lid and collar, crafted from highly polished, chrome-plated brass, offer a mirror-like finish that contrasts with the matte, faceted glass, highlighting the piece’s geometric character. The tapering silhouette and harmonious proportions are complemented by seamless transitions between glass and metal. The shaker stands securely on a flat base, while the snugly fitting lid attests to its quality construction. It has been preserved in ideal condition, with no visible damage, chips, or wear, and the metal elements retain their original luster.This form echoes the postwar optimism and home rituals of the 1950s and 60s. The faceted crystal tells a story of gatherings where every detail mattered, and the chrome-plated brass reflects light like a stage in an evening living room. The geometric fluting evokes the rhythm of urban interiors, while the shaker’s proportions seem to whisper of harmony and the celebration of everyday life. This is an object that might recount tales of home bars, where glass and metal accessories set the tone for convivial meetings.The shaker can be paired with period crystal glasses or a heavy glass decanter to emphasize the collector’s spirit of a home bar. It works well on an oak tray
