Saint-Louis Thistle Gold Cocktail Shaker

Clear crystal and gold-tone metal Saint-Louis Thistle cocktail shaker with removable lid, gilt foliate decoration and brand stamp at underside. Decorative adornment made of 24-carat gold. Original sticker (shown in photo). Includes original box. This is sold for 945 Euros (current exchange ~$1020). All photos of the actual shaker, taken in my home. This is a great piece to display or to make a delightful martini (I actually never used it for fear of scratching!). Purchased in 2018 as gently-used. This one is hard to find used. Will ship extremely well-protected. Measurements: Height 8", Diameter 3.7" Condition: Very Good. Minor signs of use. Blown and cut at Saint-Louis-lès-Bitche in Moselle, France https://www.saint-louis.com/en/collections/thistle.html Emblem of the city of Nancy in France, the Chardon (French for “Thistle”) was the original inspiration behind a first service created in 1908 at the height of Art Nouveau. In 1913, the name was anglicized, becoming Thistle. Since then, it sparkles nobly on the greatest tables. Venitian-style stripes, bevel cuts and a decoration made from 24-carat gold or platinum adorn its parison. Thistle has been in existence for 110 years, and from the 1970s onwards has been adorned in gold and platinum.
