1930-1950 Cartier Sterling Silver Bachelor Cocktail Shaker 1/2 Pint “Bossman” Inscribed (220g)

$1,250.00
A finely made and unusually personal Cartier sterling silver bachelor-size cocktail shaker, marked on the base Cartier Sterling 6711H 1/2 Pint. Compact in scale yet fully realized in form, this example follows the classic three-piece cocktail shaker design, here enhanced with a fitted strainer spout, original stopper, and retaining chain—an elegant and practical detail seldom encountered. The lid is engraved in a casual, confident hand: “Bossman”, while the body carries a warm and character-rich presentation: “Respectful Holiday Greetings from Daylight, Jock, and Beauregard.” The inscription suggests a tight-knit and cheeky circle—whether stable names, kennel companions, or nicknames within a private circle—giving the piece a narrative quality that elevates it beyond standard luxury barware. Full provenance is not known. At just 1/2 pint capacity, this is a true personal or bachelor shaker, intended for single servings—precisely the sort of discreet, high-style object associated with travel, private clubs, and mid-century cocktail culture. The weight is a solid 220 grams, and the height measures 5.75 inches, giving it a satisfying presence in hand for its intimate scale. Condition: Very good overall. A couple of small bruises consistent with light use. The surface retains a fine, even finish. The interior is clean. The original stopper and chain at the spout are present and intact—an important and often missing element. A scarce and engaging example of Cartier hollowware, combining form, function, and personality in equal measure.
