Description
Luxurious urn-form cocktail shaker monogrammed "IK" by Dirigold (ca. 1930s, USA).
Dirigold was a gold-toned alloy created in 1914 by Carl Molin to appear like gold, without the downside of tarnishing. In 1935, the company was changed the name from 'Dirigold' to 'Dirilyte,' as to not mislead customers into thinking the alloy contained actual gold.
This vase is marked at the bottom with the 3 clover marks and 'Dirigold' brand, hence pre-date 1935.
A later Dirilyte cocktail shaker in the same gold-tone metal alloy was notably gifted to President Franklin Roosevelt in 1938 by longtime Democratic political figure and U.S. Attorney General, Homer Cummings.
Good, newly polished condition with light patina/spots/scuffs remaining.
