Featuring a stylized silhouette of a swan with a convex undulating base; circular foot, cylindrical stem; a domed and perforated body; as well as a sinuously curved neck- all in lustrous polished chrome and patinated chrome. The one swan's head is represented by a sphere of carnelian hued Bakelite. Both are signed Napier.

The perforations in the body of the swan are perfect for holding cocktail picks with pierced olives. We've also seen these decorative pieces of functional art used as a mixed drink strainer and toothpick stand.

Dimensions (each, approx):
6" High, 4.5" Wide, 3.25" Deep

Good condition overall. Presents splendidly. One with dark tarnished patina as shown in photos. less
