This is a charming collection of vintage figural cocktail picks and swizzle sticks, each crowned with its own miniature character in hand worked glass, celluloid and a few in cast brass. Swans and seahorses, leaping fish and a brass gazelle, tiny liquor bottles complete with paper labels, comic figures and birds in candy bright colours, all riding atop long tapering clear glass stems. They are the sort of thing a 1950s host kept in a tall tumbler on the drinks trolley and produced with a flourish for the olives and cherries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGathered over time into one genuine old collection, these picks have the soft patina and gentle wear of decades of good parties. No two are alike, which is precisely the joy of them. Displayed standing in a glass, they read as a tiny kinetic sculpture; put to use, they turn an ordinary martini into theatre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStyling \u0026amp; Collectors Inspiration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese belong on a well dressed bar cart, ideally fanned in a heavy crystal tumbler where the light can catch the glass.
