This crystal ice bucket, produced by the German manufacturer WMF around 1950, exemplifies the craftsmanship of mid-century European tableware. The vessel is made from high-quality, transparent lead crystal, featuring a classic cross-cut diamond pattern that imparts a faceted, reflective surface and striking brilliance. The upper rim and movable handle are fashioned from silver-plated metal, attached with visible sturdy rivets—a detail that contrasts the cool clarity of the glass with sleek metallic accents. With a height of 18 cm and a diameter of 11 cm, the bucket retains all original components and shows no signs of damage or restoration. Its condition is excellent, free from wear, presenting a fresh and authentic appearance. This object speaks in the voice of the 1950s, when elegance and utility were harmoniously woven into everyday accessories. The crystal body catches and refracts light like a sheet of ice, while the metal fittings recall an era when practicality was as valued as form. The bucket evokes the atmosphere of home gatherings and intimate bar settings—as if whispering stories from a time when every table detail had its own place and meaning. It can be paired with a heavy glass decanter or simple stemware to create a classic mid-century modern bar ensemble. The bucket works well on a wooden tray atop a console table in the living room or displayed on an open bar shelf, accompanied by silver ice tongs and minimalist bar tools. It brings a touch of understated luxury to vintage-inspired interiors as well as eclectic spaces where history and modernity intersect.
