Maxwell-Phillips Hourglass Cocktail Shaker

As this is a used, vintage piece from the 1930s, you should expect minor signs of wear consistent with its age. While the structural integrity remains intact, there may be light surface scratches on the chrome or slight imperfections in the glass that add to its authentic character.

It is designed to be fully functional. The glass and metal construction allows it to be used for mixing cocktails, though given its age and collectible nature, many owners choose to use it primarily as a decorative centerpiece for their home bar.

We recommend hand washing only with mild soap and warm water. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals, which could strip the polished chrome finish or damage the vintage glass.

The hourglass silhouette is ergonomic and provides a comfortable grip while shaking. However, because it lacks the modern silicone seals found on contemporary shakers, you should hold the top and bottom firmly together while mixing to prevent any potential leaks.

This piece is a standalone vintage item and does not include a built-in strainer. You will likely need to use a separate Hawthorne or Julep strainer when pouring your drink, as the design focuses on the classic, unadulterated aesthetic of the 1930s.
