Topic: Decanter - Gold/Black Design - Czech?

[antiquerose123]

 :hi: there:
I have been wondering about this item.  I guess it is a decanter for mixing items, or for getting them cold so no ice in the drink (or Martini) ??  It is clear with a Black/Gold Retro Design on it.  It is mint condition as the seal thing around the top is in such nice condition too.  The little cap has measurements on it....and the whole piece is just in really good condition.  I had this for a few years, but just recently found it (  :spls2: ) here.  I checked to see if I had posted it before, but could not find anything -- so I do not think I have.  It is about 9.5 inches tall, and about 4 inches wide.  Is is Czech, or what?  Any ideas on the maker, and the year.

Also when you take the top cap off, the inside top has like perforated holes in it.  Is this for pouring out a drink without getting ice in it??

Thanks in advance (TIA)

Also I could not find an writing on the metal part at all (unless I am blind??).  Here is a couple other pics to show the inside seal, and the lid.  Thanks

It is a cocktail shaker.   The ounce measurements allowed the user to get the proportions right.

Lol....yeah, one of those things.  I am more the *twist* the-cap-off BEER Girl.....lol.  No wonder I could not think of the name. 

Wonder if it might be from around the 1940's as I did find some patents for these type of shakers....see if I can find it again.

That is an attractive shaker...  judging from the base, it appears to be made of quite thick glass. Is that true?  (Don't know about the maker, but looking at the seal and condition, I do have a feeling it's newer than the 1940s).

BTW:  I think we Canadian gals are just too classy for these shaker-things.  While you're a twist off the cap beer girl, I measure drinks with my fingers...  2 fingers high for a light drink, 3 fingers for a strong drink.  :24:

Good thing you do not have 8 fingers on ONE hand... 

Actually I have this for about 19 years myself now.  Bought it when my son was a  :baby: at a garage sale.  I do not think it is newer IMHO (??) but I sometimes think that there are items that are gotten as gifts years ago, and then was put in the China Cabinet to *sit* there for years, and years -- not used.  As somebody might have gotten it for a gift, but then never used it -- and just stuck it away.

The look of it reminds me of Czech -- or possibly something like *Inland Glass* that used to make things with Gold and Black design in the 60's era.  So I am still just guessing here.....but I think it is really sharp looking.

 :sm: ...but then I wear Glasses....LOL

Hi there, I don't have any engraved glasses on Ebay, nor do I do Ebay at all.....Unless you mean the Glasses on my Face    :24:

sorry forgot - the shaker is PODBIRA Novy Bor Czech

So that is a Confirmation that the Shaker is CZECH !  :thup: 

Is that the maker's name/ or the company?  (Sorry when it comes to Czech things, I can never tell what is a name, or a Company -- since the names are a bit difficult for me to understand  :spls:  I can never tell which is which -- as the names are not like Peter, Paul, and mary...LOL  )

Do you have a year for this item?

Thanks so much claretjugcollector for the info.............. :kissy:

[claretjugcollector]

Brothers podbira = company about 1930/35
