Know before you buy
This gavel jigger features a dual-capacity design. One side measures 1 to 3 ounces, while the opposite side provides a 2-ounce measurement.
To preserve the brilliant finish, hand wash the jigger with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals, and use a gentle silver polish occasionally if you notice any natural tarnish.
Yes, the Oak handle is securely integrated into the design and is intended for functional use. As this is a vintage piece, we recommend handling it with care to maintain the integrity of the wood and the silver plating over time.
This item is signed by the Napier Company, a hallmark of their mid-century craftsmanship. You can find the manufacturer's mark on the piece, confirming its origin as an authentic vintage Napier product.
While the design is sculptural, it is balanced for functional use. The wide diameter of the jigger cups allows for steady pouring, though it is best suited for those who appreciate a blend of aesthetic flair and standard bar utility.
