RECENT ACQUISITIONS - 14th June
An original English “dial-a-drink” recipe cocktail shaker dating from the 1930s. This ingenious Art Deco bar accessory features a rotating outer sleeve mechanism; by turning the body of the shaker, small windows reveal detailed recipes for a variety of classic cocktails including Manhattan, Old Fashioned, Bronx, Bacardi, and more. Ingredient quantities are clearly displayed, making it both a practical tool and a highly decorative piece.
Emerging just as Prohibition was lifted in the United States in 1933, these shakers captured the renewed enthusiasm for cocktail culture and home entertaining. Today, it remains as relevant and charming as ever. A superb conversation piece and a standout addition to any barware collection or stylish modern interior.
