Oldest known shaker?
I thought about opening this blog with some statement about its purpose. But the purpose is pretty obvious. There's so much we've encountered along the way that might not merit an article or a book, but is still interesting. For example, I saw this at an exhibition called The Art of Drinking at the Victoria and Albert museum last year.
It is two interlocking cups of equal size, about ten inches tall. The caption doesn't call it a shaker, but then they labeled a cocktail glass a "martini glass" as well. Here's the accompanying caption from the display:
"...when not in use."? I wonder if there are any illustrations from that period of these "beakers" in use? Developing. Stay posted.
