Stuck cocktail shaker lid--help! - Tiki Drinks and Food

I just got a great old cocktail shaker, but the lid is stuck on tight. Normally, I'd resort to liquid wrench, hot water and maybe a sharp rap, but the body of this shaker is glass, and I don't want to risk breaking it. There appears to be a separate layer of some material (brass?) between the glass body and the friction-fit metal lid. I've turned the whole thing upside-down and soaked it in warm, soapy water, but that doesn't seem to have done the trick. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
