About the Item

Pastel Blue Colour Body From our Barware collection, we are delighted to offer this Art Deco Master Incolor Blue Cocktail Shaker. The Cocktail Shaker a world famous icon from the Art Deco period with its Blue bakelite (moulded urea formaldehyde) tapered body, silver plated ribbed shoulder and lid with eight built in recipes on a turntable window. The lid can be removed and used as a measure which is stamped 1 Gill inside the lid. A secondary lid is housed upon the pouring spout and is removed ready for pouring the desired cocktail. The hip of the flask can be unscrewed to fill the body with your favoured liquor before mixing and has a removable strainer which sits on the bottom half of the body. The Cocktail Shaker is signed to the base Patents Pending The Master Incolor Cocktail Shaker, Made in England and dates to the Art Deco period and the first half of the 20th century circa 1935. This particular model is an unusual model for two reasons, the first being that it has a plain silver band that runs around the shaker instead of a triple grooved design that you normally see. And the second is when the cups removed contains the eight recipes, typically the models cup is separate from the recipes. We believe this is likely a very early model or prototype which was then changed. These original Master Incolor Cocktail Shakers were designed by Lawson Clarke for the english firm Wilson & Gill and were available in a range of six colours. Today they have become a collectable icon of the Art Deco era and are a rare accompaniment to any collection. Bakelite is a thermosetting phenol formaldehyde resin which is formed from a condensation reaction of phenol with formaldehyde. It was the first plastic made from synthetic components. Originally developed by Leo Baekeland in Yonkers, New York, in 1907, and patented on December 7th, 1909. Lawson Clarke the Master Incolor was first patented by Lawson & Raphael Clarke in 1934 on behalf of Wilson & Gill, London and first manufactured in England in 1935 by De La Rue. The ‘Master Incolor’ is a classic of Art Deco streamlined design with several unique features including eight cocktail recipes and the “magical” spout which was designed to ensure no spillage. It was completely unique to the Master Incolor, it was also the first Cocktail Shaker to be designed and moulded in Bakelite.
