About this book
The cocktail shaker once a symbol of elegance is now eminently collectible. This reference designed for collectors and admirers alike celebrates a golden age when designers from the famous luxury goods houses had a ball with novelty cocktail shakers. ""Thirst extinguishers"" skyscrapers lighthouses penguins ships lanterns and dumb-bells decorative and practical were favourite themes and with the legalisation of liquor in the USA following the repeal of the Prohibition in 1933 cocktail sets were in great demand. Art-Deco-inspired shakers exemplified the age and found favour with the smart set in New York Paris and elsewhere. This volume features over 150 photographs of shakers.
