Boost your cocktail experience with this rare American Art Deco masterpiece, a stunning creation by Hawkes Inc. The piece was expertly crafted in the USA, circa 1940. Exuding sleek modernist elegance, this extra tall barware pitcher is a true testament to refined mastery and timeless design. The hand-blown glass body, adorned with a sophisticated geometric frosted-line pattern, effortlessly merges artistry with function. A striking chromed metal handle adds a bold architectural element, enhancing the streamlined silhouette. Accompanying this exquisite piece is an extra long stainless steel stirrer, perfect for professionally mixing martinis or cocktails with precision and style. Though it bears no visible designer's signature, its craftsmanship speaks volumes. An essential addition to any curated bar collection, this exceptional pitcher transforms entertaining into an elevated experience, bringing a touch of Art Deco luxury to your next gathering.
Dimensions:
Pitcher: 5.13 in wide (13 cm) by 3.75 in deep (9.5 cm) by 14.19 in high (36 cm).
Stirrer spoon: 17.75 in long (45 cm).
Reference: Refer to the last two pictures for additional context. These period stills are from the 1949 film The Champion, in which a Hawkes skyscraper cocktail mixer plays a subtle but pivotal role. In a memorable scene, the character played by Marilyn Maxwell—the film's femme fatale—uses the shaker to prepare a Martini for the ambitious boxer portrayed by Kirk Douglas. That single sip marks a turning point: Douglas's character abandons his principled manager and falls in with the racketeers. Notably, the Hawkes mixer was recognized in 1940 by the Museum of Modern Art in New York as a prime example of modern design in accessible consumer goods—an accolade that underscores its cultural and aesthetic significance.
