This WMF cocktail shaker from 1950s Germany exemplifies post-war design sensibility, balancing functional clarity with the aesthetic discipline of modernism and subtle echoes of Art Deco. The body is crafted from transparent, vertically faceted crystal, creating a regular geometric rhythm that enhances grip and refracts light. The glass is polished to a high gloss, while the shaker is topped with a two-part cap and strainer made from silver-plated brass. The metal elements are smooth, mirror-like, and rounded, free from extraneous ornament. The proportions are harmonious, and the junctions between glass and metal are seamless, underscoring the timeless character of the design. The shaker is preserved in very good condition, with no visible damage or wear—surfaces remain clean and lustrous.The form of this shaker echoes the spirit of postwar Western Europe, a time when home rituals and convivial gatherings acquired renewed significance. The faceted crystal reflects light like the columns of a modernist interior, while the silvered cap suggests the understated elegance of mid-century barware. Its minimalist silhouette, free of superfluous decoration, asserts that quality of material and precision of execution take precedence—this is a shaker that quietly narrates the elevation of function to the realm of applied art.This piece can be paired with tall martini glasses in clear glass or a classic decanter from the mid-20th century, building a home bar in the spirit of mid-century modern. It would work well on a dark wood shelf or marble counter, where interplay of light on the crystal facets will accentuate the rhythm of the space. It is worth combining it with accents in chrome or matte metal and minimalist ceramics to highlight both its modernist heritage and its enduring role as a collectible bar accessory.
