About the Item

A striking and imaginative silver-plated cocktail shaker in the form of a stylized seated bear, blending whimsical form with refined Art Deco elegance. This sculptural piece features sleek, rounded contours and geometric detailing that echo the streamlined sophistication of the Deco era. With its upright posture, simplified paw shapes, and bold muzzle, the bear takes on an almost architectural presence, ideal for elevating a bar or display. The shaker is ingeniously designed in three parts: the head lifts off to reveal a built-in strainer, while the hollow body forms the main vessel. Both playful and practical, reminiscent of a time when figural barware became a fashionable expression of luxury and humor in the cocktail culture revival. Expertly polished and in very good vintage condition, this polar bear shaker is both a functional bar accessory and a captivating decorative object. A rare find for collectors of Art Deco barware or animal-themed design, it brings personality and style to any interior. Dimensions: 10 in. H x 5 in. W x 5 in. D
