Airplane Cocktail Shaker Set
About the Item
Crafted in 1928, this striking silver-plated cocktail shaker set by J.A. Henckels features two detachable flasks at the wings. Designed with burgeoning aviation in mind, this traveling airplane-shaped cocktail set includes all the necessary tools to mix first-class drinks wherever one's adventurous spirit takes them. This shaker is modeled with a rare 12-inch wingspan and designed so the tail-fin unscrews and the fuselage serves as the cocktail shaker. Inside, the set includes a large spirit flask, four shot cups, a strainer and juicer, a funnel, corkscrew, nut dish, and under the fuselage, a removable cover attached to the wheels contains four cocktail spoons. This cocktail service is illustrated in the book The Cocktail Shaker by Simon Khachadourian — a widely recognized volume for cocktail connoisseurs.
The firm of J.A. Henckels of Solingen, Germany was renowned for its innovative and ingenious pieces designed with the long-distance traveler in mind. From the 19th century onwards, they were responsible for many different types of traveling beverages and picnic sets.
