About the Item

Not a cocktail shaker, a work of art by master Norwegian goldsmith's, David Andersen; certainly a rare and important piece of holloware for the David Andersen devotee or advanced barware collector. We have never seen a cocktail shaker by this artist or any cocktail shaker covered in guilloche enamel; it could possibly have been commissioned piece dating to the 1950's. The shaker is made from solid sterling silver and is fully marked on the underside and signed by David Andersen, Norway. The elegant modernist shape is engine turned and in turn showcased by the glossy golden yellow enamel, all without damage. The lid once removed acts as a cup. Museum quality in superb condition measuring approximately 4" max. in diameter x 9" tall. David Andersen The David Andersen company is a fourth generation family owned business. David Andersen (1843 -1901) was the son of a Norwegian tenant farmer. At 19 he became an apprentice to a Silversmith in Oslo where he studied enamelling technique. These were incorporated into designs made for English firms in London. During 1876, Andersen opened his own goldsmith workshop in Christiania (Oslo.) He became one of Norway's most renowned and celebrated silversmiths. In 1899 his firm had 121 employees, 29 of which were women. By the time of his death in 1901 his Oslo workshop was producing flatware, holloware, and jewellery which was exhibited at International Expos in Europe. Since the 1920s many fine contemporary designers have worked for the David Andersen firm. including the modernist designer Harry Sorby from 1929 to 1970. He produced jewellery with inexpensive stones in elegant modernist settings. Bjorn Sigurd Ostern was employed from 1961 to 1985 and designed some very original pieces in the 60's inlcuding his 1966 graceful harp pendant . This had delicate ribs of silver over aqua enamel. Marianne Berg who predominantly worked with geometric shapes was employed as a designer at the firm from 1964 to 2002. Her silver and enamel troll and knipling range was produced for David Andersen in the sixties. Norwegians, including members of the royal family, have traditionally relied on David-Andersen for gifts to commemorate milestones like confirmations and weddings.

1930s Napier Silver-Plate Cocktail Shaker Designed by Emil Schuelke
By Emil Schuelke
Located in Minneapolis, MN
Here is a hard-to-find modernist silver-plate cocktail shaker designer by Emil Schuelke in the mid-1930s and made by Napier Company of Meriden, Connecticut. The cone-shaped shaker consists of two pieces--the top can be used for measuring ingredients. This example is in good condition--there are no deep scratches or dents. There some silver losses on the body and top of the shaker and the inside strainer has loss as well. You can tell the shaker has been used--there is wear to the interior. We've included several photos which represent the condition well. But all in all, this shaker presents nicely and would make a great addition to any bar or cocktail shaker collection. From Wikipedia: "Napier silver designs from the first half of the 20th century are in museum collections including the Brooklyn Museum, Newark Museum and a substantial collection at the Dallas Museum of Art. Over the years, Napier silver has been featured in museum exhibitions, including Modernism in American Silver: 20th Century Design at the Smithsonian in Washington, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Wolfsonian in Miami Beach, the Nevada Museum of Art in Reno, and the Dixon Gallery and Gardens in Memphis, TN (2005–07). Napier designs have also been included in two shows at the Brooklyn Museum, entitled 19th century Modern (2011–12; 2013–15). In November 2016-November 2017, the iconic Napier penguin cocktail shaker...
