Nice Art Deco brass cocktail shaker in the form of a wine bottle. The bottle separates at the shoulders to reveal the strainer and the lip of the bottle removes for pouring. The bottom of the shaker is indented just as a glass wine bottle is. We’ve had many figural cocktail shakers, but this is the first bottle we’ve had.Origin: probably America, ca. 1935. Condition: untouched patina, a couple of ding nears the bottom edge and another at the shoulder. Size: 3” diameter; 12” tall.

Superb sterling silver bowl in the form of three bound leaves by acclaimed silversmith Alfredo Sciarrotta. The triple leaf dish is much less common than the individual leaf dishes. The designer’s work is instantly recognizable from the quality of workmanship, the heaviness of the material, and of course the naturalistic shapes accented with delicately curling edges and engraved veining. The dish is raised on three dome feet.Sciarrotta was smuggled out of Italy into the US during World War II to work on submarine technology. Afterwards he settled in Newport, RI and created a small line of hand-made sterling silver hollowware. These were retailed in his own shop and eventually by a few select stores including Shreve Crump & Low, Gorham, Bailey Banks & Biddle, and Cartier. This example has the earlier and less common hallmark that Sciarrotta used only at his own studio. The pattern number is 31. Sciarrotta’s designs are in several museum collections including the Smithsonian. Origin: America, ca. 1950. Condition: excellent, no dings or monograms. Size: 9-1/2” diameter; 2-11/16” tall. Weight: 319.0 grams.
