Culver Cocktail Shaker 22K Gold Florentine Fruit MCM Pattern Martini Barware

This gorgeous Cocktail Shaker is heavily decorated with 22 carat gold fruit in the Florentine pattern. The gold is in great shape. It was made by Culver Ltd. and measures approximately 9 inches tall and 3.5 inches in diameter at the top. It is previously owned and gently used with no chips or cracks. The lid is gold tone metal. It shows signs of use with scratches on the lid and wear around the screw cap. The screw cap and pour spout work great. It will make an impressive addition to your barware. Here’s a little history. Culver Glass features real 22-karat gold decoration used effusively and magnificently especially from the late 1950’s on through the 1960’s. The company gained notoriety and its products became highly collectible and was only sold at high-end department stores. Irving Rothenberg passed away in 1987 and his son, Mark ‘Mickey’ Rothenberg, continued the Culver Glass Company. Mickey Rothenberg continued in another glass company until his death on 9/11. He was one of the passengers on the hijacked Newark-to-San-Francisco flight that crashed in Pennsylvania.
