Napier ‘Penguin’ cocktail shaker (1936)

H: 12 inches (30 cm)

An outstanding example of cocktail shaker design at its best by American maker Napier.

The famous silver-plated shaker in the form of a stylized penguin, the hinged ‘beak’, with cork stopper, lifts for accurately pouring the contents when shaken, the ‘head’ removes for filling. Marked NAPIER to the base, the piece was designed by Emil A. Schuelke and introduced by Napier (for the gifting season) in December, 1936.
