Description

A vintage Renown EPNS A1 (Electro-Plated Nickel Silver) cocktail shaker or jug with a spouted design, handle, and a removable lid, dating from the mid-20th century. Key Details: * Origin/Era: Mid-20th Century * Material: Electro-Plated Nickel Silver (EPNS A1) * Style: Classic Barware * Features: Spout with chained stopper, integrated handle, removable lid. Condition: Significant tarnishing and surface wear are visible across the entire piece, consistent with age and use. Some minor scratches and pitting are present. The chain for the stopper is intact. Interesting fact: * EPNS, or Electro-Plated Nickel Silver, was a popular and affordable alternative to sterling silver in the late 19th and 20th centuries, offering a similar appearance. * The "A1" designation typically indicated a higher quality of plating, signifying a thicker layer of silver over the nickel silver base metal. Use: Ideal for collectors of vintage barware or as a decorative piece in a home bar or kitchen.
