This Belgian ice bucket, dating to the 1960s, features a thick, transparent crystal body with a polished surface and elongated, vertically oriented facets reminiscent of stylized leaves or droplets, arranged symmetrically around the vessel. The upper rim boasts a wide, gold-plated metal band, intricately adorned with geometric and vegetal motifs in a rhythmic, repeating pattern. The arched handle, also gilt and attached with smoothly finished screws, mirrors the sheen of the band and provides a balanced grip. The transitions between glass and metal reveal precise craftsmanship, with no visible seams or imperfections. The form is well-proportioned, with a broad opening (13 cm in diameter), a slightly narrower base, and a height of 12 cm. There are no signs of wear, chips, or discoloration—the condition is described as excellent.
A quiet echo of mid-20th-century refinement resonates through this bucket's crystal lines—an era that masterfully joined functional simplicity with sophisticated detail. The reflective gilded rim plays with the light, conjuring images of modernist interiors where glass and metal shaped the rhythm of sophisticated hospitality. The transparent, subtly yellow-tinged crystal evokes the optimism of the 1960s, while the precise, linear cuts hint at a modernist sensibility softened by a trace of Art Deco—ready to narrate tales of social gatherings set to the tunes of a vintage record player.
The bucket could be paired with a crystal decanter or matching glasses on a tray, or positioned alongside mid-century brass barware. It fits seamlessly into interiors shaped by modernism as well as those with an eclectic mix of textures. Consider displaying it on an oak bar or marble countertop, adjacent to upholstered armchairs with curved profiles. For an expressive setting, combine it with pastel ceramics,
