A wonderful and unusual sterling silver cocktail shaker made by Grant Macdonald, in London, and dated 1979. The elegantly flared body is finely hand chased with a textured, wave-like pattern encircling the upper and lower sections, creating a dynamic contrast against the highly polished surface. This cocktail shaker is a refined example of late 20th-century British silversmithing, combining modern form with traditional craftsmanship.
