Penguin Cocktail Shaker in Silver-Plated Metal, After Emile Schülke, Au Bain Marie Paris An irresistibly charming penguin-form cocktail shaker, based on the iconic design originally conceived by Emile Schülke in 1936. This example was produced by the renowned Parisian firm Au Bain Marie during the 1970s–1980s, faithfully honoring the spirit of the original Art Deco creation. Executed entirely in silver-plated metal, the shaker is sculptural and playful, yet elegantly balanced in its proportions. The stylized penguin form—both whimsical and refined—has become an enduring classic of cocktail and barware design. The hinged beak opens smoothly for pouring, while the body separates neatly for filling and cleaning, combining visual delight with practical functionality. Equally suited as a functional cocktail accessory or as a sculptural decorative object, this penguin shaker...

This stunning champagne bucket by Jean Després, crafted in France around 1950, is an exquisite example of his masterful silver-plating technique. The design features a cylindrical body with hammered detailing, a hallmark of Després' signature style, and is adorned with two scrolled handles that are accentuated by spherical accents. At the top of the bucket, you'll find a delicate Jean Després flat-link chain decoration, adding a refined touch. The piece is signed with "J.Després" etched under the base, verifying its authenticity and craftsmanship (see photo). A similar model can be found in the book Jean Després, Jeweler and Goldsmith Between Art Deco and Modernity by Melissa Gabardi, specifically on page 151, published by Editions Norma (refer to accompanying photos). Jean Després (1889-1980) was a renowned French goldsmith known for his distinctive approach to Art Deco jewelry and functional objects. His legacy includes creating innovative silver, gold, and pewter pieces, breaking away from traditional designs by using bold, geometric forms and hammered textures. Després' works were highly regarded in avant-garde circles, and he enjoyed a close friendship with notable artists like Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. This champagne bucket is not only a stunning decorative object but also a symbol of Després' groundbreaking contributions to the Art Deco movement. Perfect for collectors and admirers of modernist French craftsmanship.
