A classic mid-20th century art glass cocktail shaker typical of works by Venini. The amethyst glass is decorated with white ribbon swirls twisting around the tapered sides of the shaker. The base is finished with an applied clear foot while the upper rim has a chrome collar that matches the chrome cap with ball finial. While it is without documentation, the design does seem somewhat reminiscent of those by Gio Ponti for Venini.

Origin: Italy, ca. 1955. Condition: no chips or cracks to glass, a couple of small dings on the ball finial. Size: 11" tall.
