A rare and elegant Swedish Modernist Art Deco cocktail shaker by Folke Arström, designed in 1935 for GuldmedsAktieBolaget, of streamlined faceted silver plated form with Bakelite cap and integral strainer.
Folke Arstrom (1907 – 1997) designed this very “Avant-Garde” cocktail shaker in 1935 for GAB (Guldsmeds Aktie Bolaget) in Sweden. The shaker is in silver plate with a grooved black Bakelite top. It has the original strainer and cork seal. The bottom is marked with the GAB logo and “NS” and “ALP”. This important shaker is pictured in What Modern Was on page 84 and The Cocktail Shaker on page 75.
