Vintage Hammered Cocktail Shaker Martini Pitcher Spout Handle

Pitcher-style cocktail shakers like this one are a hallmark of the Prohibition and Art Deco years of home bartending, when a hammered silver-plate shaker with a spout and a scrolled handle was the centerpiece of the cocktail hour. This one has that classic look: a softly hammered, tapering body on a banded base, a fitted lid and a capped pouring spout. It would look right at home on a bar cart, in a vintage barware collection or on a display shelf.

Silver-plated hammered shaker with a cast handle with scroll terminals, a banded lid and base, and a capped spout. The underside of the base has an engraved blackletter inscription. Weighs about 1.91 lb.

Condition: Heavy tarnish overall, and the silver plating has worn through to the yellow, copper-toned base metal on the body, base and spout, giving it a well-used vintage look. The hammered surface is intact with no dents seen, and the lid and spout cap are both present. See photos.
