Art Deco Cocktail Shaker

[WAYNE CHRISTENSEN]

Lovely. Maybe lovelier. Or even loveliest post I've seen in awhile . . . .

Thanks, Wayne!

That is stunning, Vicki, gorgeous object and still in working condition 👌 We found a much less interesting one but still very cute vintage shaker in the cupboards of my partner's granny when moving into her place after she died. Everyone said "just chuck it" but I clinged to it. It's in our kitchen's cupboard now and gets regular use 😁

Thanks, Sinu! It's so nice to have items from older generations, especially when they can still be used.

Another great story of yours. So much family history linked to a saved letter and a cocktail shaker, and I love how you tied all of this together with a beautiful painting and a recipe.

Thanks Amy!

What a story! You did a fantastic job with your chalk drawing. Thank you for sharing.

[Vicki Smith]

Thank you, Sally!

Wonderful story! Thank you! Learning about your “antique” shaker really makes history come to life! My grandparents’ generation had “cocktail hour” too, probably Not too healthy a habit but,yes, it was part of that whole era. That and smoking! I loved hearing of the history of that cottage too. 💓

[Vicki Smith]

Thanks Peggy! Different times, for sure.

Just a beautiful piece, Vicki! Those masks are absolutely gorgeous!
