This ice bucket, designed by Rudolf Jurnikl and manufactured in the 1950s by the Czech glassworks Sklo Union, stands as a notable example of Central European mid-century modern utilitarian design. Crafted entirely from thick, pressed glass in a saturated aquamarine tone, the piece features a consistent geometric relief that encircles the cylindrical form. The sharply angular, integrated handles and the star-shaped motif pressed into the base highlight both the technical precision and conceptual clarity characteristic of Czech glassmaking tradition. It is free from metal or wood components, with the prismatic glass structure forming a stable, solid object. With a height of 14 cm and a width and depth of 12 cm, the bucket serves both as a practical vessel for ice and a visually striking display object. Condition: original, with visible typical signs of age such as minor surface scratches and small nicks, but no major chips or cracks.Within its glassy walls, one finds the spirit of Czech modernist optimism—the blend of robust form and modular relief conjures the creative energy of the 1950s, when every utility item aspired also to be an accessible sculpture. The glossy aquamarine surface seems to draw in and refract light, while the sharply-defined handles evoke the linework of avant-garde bar interiors. The star motif beneath quietly signals that even everyday objects of this era carried the aspirations of their time.This bucket may be featured on a classic home bar, paired with a decanter of cut glass and a set of old fashioned tumblers. It would also sit well among collectible Italian or Scandinavian
