Elevate your bar cart with this spectacular, authentic 5-piece Mid-Century Modern barware set manufactured by ESCO (Empire Silver Company). This glamorous Hollywood Regency style set includes one large optical-ribbed cocktail shaker and four matching coupe/martini glasses.
The glass bodies feature an extraordinarily detailed, etched floral-and-vine overlay pattern using genuine 22-Karat Coin Gold leaf. The cocktail shaker retains its rare, original diamond-shaped blue and silver foil manufacturer label ("ESCO - 22 CARAT COIN GOLD"), providing flawless historical provenance.
The heavy, metallic rose-gold/copper finished shaker top is stamped by the Derby Shelton Silver Company of Connecticut and features the iconic internal anti-glug venting tube under Patent No. 2091604 (originally granted in 1937), ensuring a beautifully continuous pour.
