A Very Rare Mid Century Hour Glass Cocktail Shaker

A striking and highly decorative Art Deco cocktail shaker, featuring the classic and much sought-after hourglass glass body within an architectural chrome frame. This sculptural design, with its elegant proportions and column supports, captures the glamour and innovation of early 20th century barware and makes a strong statement both as a functional object and display piece. The clear glass vessel is beautifully formed, tapering through the centre and widening to the base, while the chrome plated mounts and lid provide a refined contrast, reflecting the Machine Age aesthetic of the period. The original screw cap and integrated strainer remain intact, completing the design. Condition is very good overall, with a stable crack to the upper rim of the glass and a small fissure to the chrome cap, both mentioned for accuracy. These do not detract from the visual impact or display value of the piece, which remains highly presentable. A classic example of Art Deco barware, increasingly difficult to source, and a standout addition to any collection or interior. Dimensions approx.: 24cm high x 13cm diameter. In a perfect condition this piece would sell for around $1000 to $1300 because of its rarity, priced accordingly.
