Antique barware has become one of the fastest growing areas of twentieth century collecting, driven by renewed interest in home entertaining, cocktail culture, and decorative objects with practical use. At Mark Goodger Antiques, our barware collection includes antique cocktail shakers, decanter sets, champagne buckets, ice buckets, cigar boxes, humidors, ashtrays, table lighters, drinks trays, and serving accessories.

Many of the finest barware pieces were produced during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as hotel bars, private clubs, and domestic entertaining became increasingly fashionable. The Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods introduced bold materials and innovative forms, with makers working in sterling silver, silver plate, cut glass, exotic woods, lacquer, Bakelite, and celluloid.

Our collection includes both understated functional pieces and rarer statement objects, from silver mounted decanters to unusual cocktail accessories and smoking related items by respected makers and retailers.

Every piece is selected for originality, condition, and strong design. Many remain fully functional today, making antique barware equally suited to collecting, entertaining, gifting, and interior design.
