This Art Deco cocktail shaker, designed by J.A. Henckels Twin Works around 1930, is a quintessential example of the era’s fascination with streamlined design and modern technology. Shaped like a Zeppelin airship, the shaker’s sleek, silver form evokes the speed and progress associated with this groundbreaking form of transportation. The Minneapolis Institute of Art’s collection includes this unique object, which highlights the intersection of art and industrial design during this pivotal period.
Comments
The streamlined form of the Zeppelin airship, served as the model for this most elegant of cocktail shakers. Everything required of the host was contained within the shaker including a flask, strainer/juicer, corkscrew, funnel and four graduated shot cups and spoons. When unscrewed, the tail section became a nut dish.
