I picked this up at Around the Block in Toronto. Anyone local should visit this great antiques consignment store.
This is a very interesting, and I think unique, set. It is made of multiple pieces – the tumblers, swizzle sticks, ice bowl, tongs and the stand. All in pristine condition and likely produced in the ’30s.
Hazel Atlas made barware with various decorations. I don’t know why this is called the “Sportsmen” series. Maybe dog walking was considered a sport. Maybe sportsmen drink out of cobalt tumblers. Who knows.
I posted it online and someone with more expertise than I suggested that this might have been a special order, or fantasy piece.
I love the deep blue, and of course, the dogs!
