Vintage 1930’s Art Deco Era James Dixon Silver Plate & Glass Cocktail Shaker. What is slightly more unusual about this shaker is fact that it is half glass and half silver plate – most you see are full silver plate. This lovely example has a push on, cork lined lid which also has an integral lemon squeezer mechanism (see picture 7) – the pouring spout also is cork lined and unusually has a guard chain to prevent you losing the spouts lid – as can be seen in picture 8 the chain has a simple lobster claw clasp which means it’s removable if desired. The glass part of the shaker is a fairly typical form that has an applied glass handle to the side – a nice touch is an acid etched image of a cockerel which is no doubt a fun play on words with it being a’cocktail’ shaker – this was difficult to get a really good picture of but it can been seen in picture 10. Picture 11 shows the makers details as mentioned above and there is also a pattern number of L1988. The shaker measures approximately 20cm in height and the total unpacked weight is 740g. The condition all round is fabulous – there is no damage to the glass whatsoever in the form of cracks, scratches or chips – the silver plated parts are superb with no rubbing or plate loss – the corks to the main lid and pouring spout are both intact and excellent condition – all round the item is extremely clean and ready to use and it would be perfect for late summer cocktails or perhaps you may want it for the Christmas season! Because it is partly made of glass the item has weighty and solid quality feel to it.
