Unusual silver-plated dumbbell cocktail shaker

Sold

An excellent silver-plated example of the novelty dumbbell silver cocktail shaker introduced by Asprey in 1932, a time when Asprey was Britain's leading designer, manufacturer and retailer of luxury novelty items. For the inner weightlifter, this great looking silver-plated shaker has Art Deco styling and a three-piece design with strainer and screw-off top.

This is our kind of pushing up weights!

Art Deco was a popular design style in the 1920s and 1930s characterised especially by sleek geometric or stylised forms. It represented luxury, glamour, exuberance, and faith in social and technological progress. For that reason silver cocktail and barware were popular categories of goods to reflect the style of the time.
