A 1930s silver plate large cocktail shaker with handle.
The history of cocktail shakers dates back to ancient times, with early versions found in South American and Egyptian cultures used for mixing drinks. However, the modern cocktail shaker became popular in the late 19th century during the rise of cocktail culture.
Bartenders in the USA embraced it, especially during the Prohibition era when speakeasies flourished. By the 1920s and 1930s, the shaker became a symbol of sophistication and style, often seen in art deco designs and lavish parties.
