ABOUT PRODUCTID 2430
This crystal cocktail shaker by WMF, produced in Germany between 1920 and 1939, stands as a distinctive example of Art Deco style. The body is made from clear, colorless crystal with high transparency, featuring regular vertical fluting that adds subtle geometry and rhythm to its surface. The slender form tapers slightly towards a broad, stable base. The upper section is completed by a polished, silver-tone metal cap and strainer; these smooth, rounded metal elements create a refined contrast to the faceted, ribbed glass. The shaker measures approximately 21.5 cm in height and 9 cm in width. Its construction is precise, with harmoniously balanced proportions and well-fitted glass-to-metal joints. The overall condition is very good – no chips or cracks, only minimal signs of use; the metal retains its luster. This piece echoes the spirit of the interwar years: its form speaks of jazz-age evenings, where geometry and light mingled atop modern living room bars. The interplay of fluted lines creates a subtle visual rhythm, while the cool clarity of crystal and the gleam of metal recall the refined gatherings where every gesture mattered. More than a utilitarian object, this shaker evokes an era when luxury was defined by precision and restraint. It may serve as a centerpiece for a home bar or be displayed on a dark wood modernist tray, paired with straight-lined glasses and a heavy-cut decanter to emphasize its linear qualities. The shaker would work well in a classically inspired living room referencing the 1930s, as well as in a more eclectic setting – for example, among a collection of geometric vessels or Bauhaus-inspired decor. Combining it with chromed accents or colored glassware could further highlight its historical context.
