Up for sale is a rare Art Deco cocktail shaker / decanter with vibrant, hand-painted enamel rings and 2 illustrations on a heavy, clear glass body, complete with its original matching ground-glass, tight-fitting, multi-ringed stopper.
The Scottish Terrier (Scottie) was one of the most iconic pop-culture motifs of the 1930s, famously popularized by President Franklin D. Roosevelt\'s dog, Fala. The second illustration of the rooster was the universalmascot for barware of the period because it was a literal visual play on the word \"cock-tail\".The thick, glossy texture of the enamel paint and the loose, expressive brushstrokes on both the rooster\'s tail and the Scottie dog\'s fur indicate that this piece was individually hand-decorated.
The presence of thee \"Oh Henry! cocktail recipe points specifically to a late 1920s or early 1930s timeframe. The exact equal-parts formulation on your shaker (1/3 Bénédictine, 1/3 Whisky, 1/3 Ginger Ale) is a historic recipe famously documented in Harry Craddock\'s legendary 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book.European herbal liqueurs like Bénédictine were also heavily favored during this era.
7.75\" tall and 3.50\" wide, this unique cocktail shaker is in excellent condition for its 90-plus years of age. It has been in my personal vintage barware collection since the late 1980s and has been very well cared for.
