Offering eight “cups” and matching shaker with its on-board strainer, all with a restrained Art Deco/Modernist, machine-age design.

The silver plating is in what I call “excellent” condition. The inside of the shaker is like brand-new; I suspect it’s never been used (the inside is frosted and silvery). The condition of the interiors of the cups is good to excellent, three of them having some disturbance on the inside bottom. I doubt they’ve been used, but having been exposed to the outside air and elements, unlike the interior of the shaker, there’s been some slight toll.

All eight cups and the shaker are hallmarked “St. Medard.”

Measurements: The shaker, 9 ¼ high by 4 at the widest point. The cups, 2 3/8 high by 2 diameter. See less
