What customers say
Buyers consistently celebrate the exceptional Art Deco design, emphasizing its timeless elegance and sophisticated silhouette. The premium quality of the Gorham silver craftsmanship is a key highlight, solidifying its status as a valuable collectible.

Know before you buy
Standing at 10.5 inches tall with a 3.5-inch diameter, this shaker is designed for batch mixing, allowing you to prepare multiple drinks at once.
No, it features a built-in strainer integrated into the three-piece design, so you can pour your cocktails directly from the shaker without needing extra tools.
To preserve the polished finish, hand wash the shaker with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges and harsh chemicals to prevent scratching or tarnishing the silver plate.
This is a fully functional cocktail shaker. While its Art Deco aesthetic makes it a beautiful display piece for a home bar, it is constructed for regular use in mixing cocktails.
The shaker is composed of the main body, a lid with an integrated strainer, and a removable cap that seals the top for shaking.
