Antique Hawkes Sterling Muddler & Etched Crystal Cocktail Shaker Huge 16.75 inch For Sale

This is one monumental and truly amazing muddler set by Hawkes. I have seen pictures of other Hawkes sets but none had near the elaborate amount of etchings. I stated \"fantasy\" since the moon has a smiling face. Also featured are fighting fanciful birds, trees and a fence. I estimate this to be from the early 1900\'s. The glass is 16 3/4 inches tall. The silver muddler is 17 inches. I do not know if this is sterling silver or silver plated. You can see the tarnish on the handle. There is a bit of sticker residue on the bottom, I did not want to use any chemical to remove it. also has a bit of smudge in the inside bottom, again I was too chicken to try and get a cloth that far into the piece to clean it. I leave these things to the Buyer. Shipping will be high due to the size and it will be very well packed. About My sales Shipping - I ship to the United States.
