1930s A sophisticated Art Deco cocktail shaker, masterfully produced in Bologna, Italy, by the prestigious metalware firm MB (Mancini Bologna). Dating to the 1930s, this three-piece set is an exceptional example of Italian luxury barware, defined by its substantial weight and architectural silhouette.
The shaker features a streamlined, tapered body and a distinctive stepped-shoulder profile. It is elegantly detailed with three bands of intricate, engine-turned decorative braiding at the cap, shoulder, and base—a signature MB high-end serveware. Known for their superior heavy-gauge silver plating. MB pieces offer a professional-grade durability and a brilliant mirror finish that distinguishes them from standard domestic barware of the period.
It's signed at the bottom and is in excellent condition
