A stylish and highly decorative aldo tura cocktail shaker and matching ice pail, dating to the 1960s and exemplifying the luxurious materials and sophisticated craftsmanship that made tura one of the most celebrated figures in post-war italian design. Combining functionality with exceptional visual appeal, the set perfectly captures the glamour of mid-century entertaining.
both pieces are finished in tura's characteristic lacquered parchment, displaying rich shades of coral red, crimson, and burnt orange beneath a deep high-gloss surface. The naturally varied tonal qualities of the parchment create remarkable depth and luminosity, ensuring that each piece possesses a unique appearance. The warm colouration is beautifully complemented by gilt brass mounts and fittings, which add an additional sense of luxury and refinement.
the cocktail shaker is of elegant tapering form with a fitted gilt brass top, while the matching ice pail retains its original swing handle and gilt metal liner. Together they form a cohesive bar set that reflects the designer's ability to elevate utilitarian objects into sophisticated decorative pieces.
