ABOUT PRODUCTID 16868
This ice bucket, designed by Luigi Massoni and Carlo Mazzeri for Alfra (the Alessi division), embodies the essence of Italian mid-century modernism from the 1950s and 60s. Produced as model 871, the bucket is crafted from polished metal in a uniform silvery tone, without embellishment or contrasting color. Oval, sculpted cutouts near the rim serve as integrated handles, subtly blending into the body. The form is smooth and narrows gently toward the base, lending it balanced proportions and stability. The interior is finished in matching silver, and the Alfra signature stamped on the underside affirms its authenticity. The piece is in good condition—minor scratches and light traces of use are visible, consistent with vintage objects, but there are no structural damages or deformations. Within this clear, reflective form resonates the spirit of postwar Italian optimism—where pragmatism meets elegance. The bucket narrates an era in which unnecessary decoration gave way to purity of shape and the integrity of material. Its polished metallic surface mirrors its surroundings, ready to join a convivial gathering yet always holding the distinctive character of its time. It would serve beautifully as part of a home bar ensemble, paired with hand-blown glass decanters or mid-century cut crystal tumblers. Its understated design can also be set alongside minimalist stainless-steel trays or lacquered wood, and it forms a perfect backdrop for colorful bottles or drinkware. The piece fits equally well within a classic collector’s bar setting or a contemporary interior defined by restraint and clarity
