A rare chrome and bakelite barware set comprising a mechanical garnish spoon for olives or cherries, a ladle for dipping mixers or juice from a pitcher into a cocktail glass, and cocktail picks/stirrers. Each piece is finished with a bakelite cherry finial. The mechanical spoon is marked CADO, while the picks and ladle are unmarked, but are in a fitted presentation case marked “Créations H.P.” This set was purchased together, and it’s possible there was originally a case for the mechanical spoon, as well. Little is known about CADO except that the company produced a range of well-designed barware sometimes sold under its own name and sometimes under the name of a particular retail boutique such as Créations H.P.
