A mostly silver-plate cocktail shaker with a U-form dominating the bottom segment, also known as a spun hemisphere, with an angled base prone in an outward direction at the bottom. In an upward direction are two steps inward to a tall cylindrical body resembling a form of a skyscraper with two more steps out and three shallow steps inward leading to a lid with a neck and a red-orange Catalin (polymer) stopper that remains inserted during pouring. The photograph captures the cocktail shaker in a front view against a medium gray background.
