Art Deco Chrome & Bakelite Barware Set | Cado Paris Cocktail Picks Ladle Spoon | French 1930s Barware | Rare Cocktail Set

A rare chrome and bakelite barware set comprising a mechanical garnish spoon for olives or cherries, a ladle for serving mixers or juice, and a set of cocktail picks or stirrers. Each piece is finished with a distinctive bakelite cherry finial, giving the set a playful note within an otherwise streamlined design.

The mechanical spoon is marked CADO, while the picks and ladle are housed in a fitted presentation case marked “Créations H.P.” The set was acquired together, and the combination of the marked spoon, matching cherry finials, and original case gives it strong visual cohesion and appeal.

Little is known about CADO, but the listing notes that the company produced a range of well-designed barware sold both under its own name and under boutique names such as Créations H.P. That sense of specialized French design gives this set added character beyond its practical use.

A striking and highly displayable piece of vintage barware, equally suited to a serious collection or a well-appointed bar.
