About the Item
Modernist Double-Ended Jigger in Sterling Silver, Circa 1950s
Fisher Silver Company
United States, mid-20th century
This modernist double-ended jigger embodies the reductive elegance and functional clarity that define mid-century modern American silver design. Stripped of ornament and resolved entirely through proportion, the piece is formed as two elongated, tapering cones joined at a narrow waist, creating a silhouette that is architectural, balanced, and unmistakably modern.
Crafted in solid sterling silver and marked “FISHER STERLING” at the central collar, the jigger reflects Fisher’s commitment to material integrity and precision manufacture. The uninterrupted vertical lines and subtle transitions between planes emphasize form over decoration, aligning the object with the modernist ideal that beauty arises from utility and structure. The gently brushed exterior finish enhances the sculptural quality while allowing the natural luster of the silver to remain understated rather than ostentatious.
At 7.75 inches in height, the piece has a commanding yet refined presence, its symmetry allowing it to function equally as a working bar tool or as a freestanding sculptural object. When not in use, it reads almost as a small abstract column, recalling the period’s fascination with architectural form translated into domestic objects.
Weighing approximately 58.1 grams, the jigger possesses a reassuring heft that underscores its quality without excess. Its design belongs squarely to the postwar moment when American manufacturers embraced modernism to elevate everyday rituals—such as cocktail service—into expressions of contemporary taste.
An exceptional example of American modernist barware, this jigger appeals to collectors of Mid-Century Modern design, refined silver, and objects where form, function, and material are held in perfect balance.
