ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Master Incolor was first patented in 1934 by Lawson and Raphael Clarke for Wilson & Gill, London, and manufactured by De La Rue from 1935. Available originally in several colours, it was the first cocktail shaker to be designed and moulded in Bakelite, making it a milestone in both design and material innovation. Today it remains one of the most collectible and recognisable pieces of streamlined Art Deco barware.
Bakelite, developed by Leo Baekeland in 1907, was the first fully synthetic plastic, formed from phenol and formaldehyde. Its durability and mouldability made it ideal for progressive designs such as this iconic shaker.
CONDITION
In Good Vintage Condition - Light age-related wear to the Bakelite and minor surface wear to the silver-plated elements consistent with use. Mechanisms operate as intended. Some of the thread on the (red) body of the shaker has broken off but still closes securely as intended. Please refer to photographs.
