The shaker: features a classic shaker shape, composed of several overlapping sections. The glass has an opalescent or satin finish, with a color that appears between creamy white and pale green, typical of glass of the period. It is decorated with horizontal bands of silvered metal, with additional gold decoration within the bands. These decorations are characteristic of the art nouveau style, with sinuous lines or stylized geometric patterns. The top lid is made of metal, probably of the same material as the bands, with a rounded shape and a smaller cap on top. The six tumblers: these are small, typical small liquor or shot glasses. Made of the same opalescent/satin glass as the shaker. They echo the same horizontal banded decoration with gold details, creating a stylistic harmony with the shaker. The shape of the tumblers is elegant, with a base that narrows toward the body and then widens slightly toward the mouthpiece. General features and art nouveau style: the entire set reflects the aesthetics of the art nouveau era, characterized by the use of fine materials such as wrought glass and metals, elegant and curvaceous shapes (though more restrained here), and refined decorations with a taste for detail. The combination of opalescent glass with gilded metal decorations is typical of this artistic period. The set suggests an attention to craftsmanship and beauty even in everyday objects, in keeping with the philosophy of art nouveau. In summary, it is an elegant and refined art nouveau-era cocktail set, consisting of a shaker and six small glasses made of opalescent glass decorated with metal bands and golden details. A fine item that testifies to the aesthetic taste of an era.
