A “dial-a-drunk“ recipe cocktail shaker retailed by the famous British jewellers Mappin and Webb in the 1930s. The mechanism works by rotating the shaker, each small adjustment reveals windows which describe how to make a different cocktail. Just as the prohibition era was lifted in the USA in 1933, it is easy to imagine the appeal behind these objects which would have made wonderful items to wow their guests. As relevant today as it was then, it makes a fantastic conversation piece and wonderful as part of a collection of barware in the modern home.
Condition: excellent
Dimensions: 27cm high, 10cm diameter
