Cleverly designed, the shaker features an engraved inner sleeve with cocktail recipes that are revealed by rotating the outer sleeve, allowing the bartender to reference classic drink formulas while mixing cocktails.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003eWith its streamlined Art Deco silhouette and mechanical ingenuity, the shaker embodies the glamour associated with early 20th century European bar-ware.

As is typical with many vintage examples, a slight amount of liquid may escape from beneath the cap during vigorous shaking. A bar towel wrapped around the top provides a simple remedy, and food-safe silicone tape may also be applied discreetly beneath the cap for a tighter fit if desired.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHallmarks \u0026amp; Provenance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003eItalian silver plate, marked for Giuliano Bossi, C 1930.  From a Parisian estate.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eDetails \u0026amp; Dimensions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e c. 1930\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver plate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Art Deco shaker, dial-a-drink \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 1\/4\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem ID:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12619 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003eVery good vintage condition.
