The WMF crystal cocktail shaker, produced around 1950, exemplifies barware craftsmanship in the spirit of late Art Deco. Its body is made from high-quality, colorless crystal glass, cut in a pronounced diamond-faceted pattern. The faceted surfaces create a geometric play of reflections, while the smooth, glossy glass contrasts with the simplicity of the metal fitting. The upper section is finished with a silver-plated collar and a cylindrical, mirror-polished cap. The proportions are balanced—gently tapering toward the base and highlighting the harmony of form, combining decorative flair with the functional clarity characteristic of the era. The shaker measures 20.5 cm in height and 10 cm in diameter. It is preserved in very good condition, with no visible damage and only minimal, natural patina on the metal. This shaker evokes the cool elegance of the postwar era, when geometric forms and luxurious materials answered the need for a new order and refinement. The faceted glass reflects light like a crystalline mirror, recalling evenings where every cocktail preparation became a small ritual. The metal fittings—streamlined and rounded—echo the machine-inspired precision of the 1950s, when even everyday objects aspired to be small works of art. The shaker may be paired with classic cocktail glasses on a silver tray to highlight its Art Deco heritage. It would suit a dark wood bar or a glass console in a living room, where geometric shapes and reflective surfaces can be fully appreciated. Consider combining it with other mid-century bar accessories or minimalist ceramics to emphasize the contrast between crystal ornamentation and the simplicity of modern materials.
