20thC English Silver Plated "Recipe" Cocktail Shaker By Finnigans Ltd c.1930
About the Item
An 20th Century “dial-a-drink“ recipe cocktail shaker made in England, produced in the 1930's. This fascinating piece of barware combines style with functionality. The shaker features a clever mechanism where rotating the outer body reveals small windows displaying different cocktail recipes, allowing the user to switch between drinks.
Produced shortly after the end of Prohibition in the USA in 1933, it's easy to imagine the allure such an item held for party hosts eager to impress their guests with the latest in cocktail culture. With its sleek Art Deco design, this shaker remains just as relevant today, making it not only a practical tool but also a fantastic conversation piece, perfect for a modern barware collection.
Finnigans Ltd, established in 1830 with a flagship store on New Bond Street, London, was renowned for producing luxury goods, including luggage, leather goods, and high-end accessories. By the early 20th century, the company expanded its range to include elegant silver and cocktail wares, such as the "dial-a-drink" cocktail shaker. Known for their craftsmanship and sophisticated designs, Finnigans catered to an elite clientele, offering exquisite, bespoke pieces that became status symbols of the time and therefore highly sought after by collectors today.
