: The Cocktail shaker in question was by Desny, a
: famous Paris firm specialising in art deco
: silverware in the 1920's. This was a set of
: a shaker and six matching cups and very
: rare. Most expensive cocktail shakers tend
: to be figural in design (e.g. lighthouse,
: rooster, penguin, zeppelin, airplane, fire
: extinguisher etc. $2k -$15k for good
: originals) but this set appeals to both
: shaker and art deco collectors so
: competition is fierce, 32 bidders in this
: case. Picture of the set to follow via Jeff.
