History of the Maker
Based in Cusano Milanino, near Milan, Macabo produced decorative objects and bar accessories during the mid-20th century. Working with materials including metal, wood and parchment, the Italian manufacturer brought sculptural flair to the pleasures of entertaining.
Ways to Use
Shake a daiquiri, margarita or your own house cocktail. Pair with crystal glasses and a lacquered tray for an inviting bar vignette, or give it pride of place in a gentleman’s study. For an unexpected flourish, remove the lid and use the body—with a glass liner—as a vase for white tulips or a spray of olive branches.
A charming holiday, wedding or housewarming gift for someone with excellent taste and a generous pour.
