Mid-Century Chrome Cocktail Set, Shaker & Six Coupe Goblets, 1950s
Elegant mid-century cocktail set composed of a polished chrome cocktail shaker and six matching stemmed coupe goblets. The set reflects the glamour of home entertaining in the 1940s–1960s, when cocktail hours, bar carts, and polished metal barware became central to sophisticated domestic life.
The shaker has a tall cylindrical Art Deco-inspired silhouette with a fitted lid, pouring spout, curved handle, and horizontal banded detailing. The six matching goblets echo the same streamlined design, with ribbed cup bowls, slender stems, and round bases. Together, the set has a strong sculptural presence and a beautiful reflective finish that makes it ideal for display on a bar cart, drinks cabinet, sideboard, or dining room console.
This style of chrome barware is closely associated with American and European mid-century entertaining, blending Art Deco geometry with the clean, polished modernity of the postwar period. The combination of shaker and matching metal coupes gives the set a cohesive and highly decorative look, perfect for serving martinis, champagne cocktails, cordials, aperitifs, or after-dinner drinks.
The set includes one chrome cocktail shaker and six matching stemmed cocktail goblets. Presented in vintage condition consistent with age and use, with light surface wear and natural patina appropriate to polished metal barware. It displays beautifully and offers both functional use and strong decorative appeal for collectors of mid-century barware, Art Deco-inspired design, and vintage cocktail culture.
