An Italian “dial-a-drink” cocktail shaker by Giuliano Bossi crafted in silver plate circa 1930. Cleverly designed, the shaker features an engraved inner sleeve with cocktail recipes that are revealed by rotating the outer sleeve, allowing the bartender to reference classic drink formulas while mixing cocktails.
With its streamlined Art Deco silhouette and mechanical ingenuity, the shaker embodies the glamour associated with early 20th century European bar-ware. Pieces of this type were both functional and conversational, making them highly sought after today by collectors of antique cocktail accessories and decorative bar ware.
The shaker remains fully usable. As is typical with many vintage examples, a slight amount of liquid may escape from beneath the cap during vigorous shaking. A bar towel wrapped around the top provides a simple remedy, and food-safe silicone tape may also be applied discreetly beneath the cap for a tighter fit if desired.
Italian silver plate, marked for Giuliano Bossi, C 1930
