Antique cocktail shakers became increasingly popular during the early twentieth century as cocktail culture expanded across Europe and America. The rise of hotel bars, private members clubs, ocean travel, and home entertaining created strong demand for specialised drinks accessories, with many of the finest examples produced during the Art Deco period between the 1920s and 1940s.

At Mark Goodger Antiques, our collection includes antique cocktail shakers in sterling silver, silver plate, glass, chrome, Bakelite, and mixed materials. Designs range from traditional forms to novelty examples, alongside pieces produced by respected makers and retailers including Asprey, Dunhill, Christofle, J.A. Henckels, Keith Murray, Master Incolor, Mappin & Webb, and other leading names of the period.

Many antique cocktail shakers were designed with both practicality and visual appeal in mind, often incorporating removable strainers, measuring caps, and innovative mechanical features. Today they remain highly sought after by collectors, interior designers, and those looking for original barware that can still be used and displayed.

Every cocktail shaker is selected for originality, condition, and strong design. Whether purchased for collecting, entertaining, or display, antique cocktail shakers remain one of the most recognisable categories within twentieth century barware.
