Know before you buy
This is an authentic vintage piece dating back to the 1920s, featuring the original maker's mark from Hukin & Heath.
No, this shaker does not feature a modern leak-proof seal. As a vintage piece, it is best handled with care and a steady hand when shaking.
To preserve the finish, hand wash the shaker gently with mild soap and warm water, then dry immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that could damage the silver plating.
The interior strainer is designed for basic filtration of ice and large ingredients. For cocktails with fine herbs or small fruit seeds, you may want to use an additional fine-mesh strainer when pouring.
While the shaker stands 8 inches tall, it is a standard three-piece French shaker design intended for preparing one to two cocktails at a time.
