ABOUT PRODUCTID 1981
This crystal cocktail shaker, produced by the renowned German manufacturer WMF around 1950, exemplifies the mature, geometric expression of Art Deco. The body is crafted from high-quality crystal glass, adorned with a pronounced diamond-cut faceted pattern. The cool, transparent glass is paired with silver-plated metal – the cap and collar feature a polished, mirror-like finish that provides a striking counterpoint to the textured glass. Its harmonious, gently tapered silhouette and rounded shoulders highlight precise workmanship and well-balanced proportions. The shaker measures 20.5 cm in height and 10 cm in diameter. It is preserved in excellent, collector-grade condition, with no visible signs of wear, damage, or restoration. This piece tells the story of postwar Europe – a time when Art Deco became synonymous with the elegance of modern homes and home cocktail rituals signaled an openness to the world. The faceted glass captures light like a fractured sheet of ice, while the metallic accents evoke the gleam of Berlin bars and the sophistication of the era’s social gatherings. The shaker seems to whisper: “Every evening can have its own ritual, provided you allow a touch of style into the everyday.” It brings a refined accent to a home bar or a display cabinet in the living room. One could pair it with simple, geometric stemware or a crystal decanter – it fits seamlessly among mid-century veneered sideboards, marble surfaces, or upholstered armchairs in the spirit of mid-century modern. It is worth combining with chromed or nickel-plated accessories, as well as minimalist ceramics, to highlight its distinct yet understated presence.
