Art Deco Chrome Town Crier Bell Form Cocktail Shaker W/ Ebonized Walnut Handle
This striking Art Deco "Town Crier" cocktail shaker, crafted in America circa 1930, is a remarkable blend of form and functionality inspired by the iconic bell shape of a town crier. Made from gleaming chrome and complemented by an elegantly crafted ebonized walnut handle, this piece embodies the sleek sophistication and bold styling synonymous with the Art Deco era.
The bell-shaped design is a clever nod to heraldic tradition, while the choice of chrome reflects the Machine Age’s emphasis on modern materials and streamlined aesthetics. The richly ebonized walnut handle adds warmth and contrast, enhancing the overall composition with a touch of refinement.
More than a cocktail shaker, this piece exudes sculptural appeal, making it an ideal decorative object even when not in use. Perfect for collectors of Art Deco barware or those looking to elevate their cocktail hour, the "Town Crier" shaker is an iconic representation of early 20th-century American design ingenuity and style.
