Stainless Steel Cocktail Strainer | Mid-Century Modern Italian
Stainless Steel Cocktail Strainer | Mid-Century Modern Italian
When Italian modernism went to the bar cart
From the 1960s, this cocktail strainer is pure Italian Mid-Century precision. It's brushed stainless steel, matte finish. The body narrows to a stable base—a form that’s both handsome and genuinely useful. The perforated insert pulls right out (a small genius move), keeping every stray ice shard and lemon twist locked down while your cocktail sails into the glass. The flat lid rests snugly within the rim, completing the look. This is utilitarian innovation disguised as sculpture.

Black & Gold Condition Guide
✨ We believe every piece tells a story — here’s how we describe the chapters they’ve lived so far:
Mint / Like New Practically time-traveled. Looks as though it’s never been used. Crisp, clean, and flawless.
Excellent Well-preserved with only the most minor signs of age (think a faint scratch or two, visible only if you squint). Structurally sound and show-stopping.
Very Good Loved and cared for. Some small signs of wear — maybe light surface marks, gentle fading, or a touch of patina — but nothing that distracts from its beauty or function.
Good Has earned its character. Noticeable wear such as scratches, discoloration, or finish loss, all consistent with age and use. Still fully functional and fabulous.
Well-Loved / As-Is This one has stories to tell. Expect visible flaws or wear (chips, cracks, missing parts), but still worthy for display, repurposing, or as a collector’s gem.
