Chapel Farm Collection Cocktail Shaker

Yes, this is a fully functional antique piece. However, because it is over a century old, we recommend hand-washing it gently before and after use to preserve the silver plating.

No, this piece is not dishwasher safe. The harsh detergents and high heat of a dishwasher will damage the antique silver-plated finish; it should be cleaned by hand with a soft cloth and mild soap.

To keep the finish looking its best, polish it occasionally with a high-quality silver cream and a soft, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical dips, which can strip the patina that gives the piece its historical character.

Standing 9 inches tall with a 4-inch diameter, this shaker is sized similarly to standard modern cocktail shakers. It is perfectly capable of mixing one to two standard-sized cocktails at a time.

As an authentic antique piece from 1915, this shaker features a traditional design that may not include the integrated strainers found on modern barware. You may want to use a separate Hawthorne or Julep strainer when pouring your drinks.
