This Italian ice bucket from the 1970s is made of hand-blown glass in a subtle, nearly transparent light amber hue. The glass has a glossy, highly polished finish, highlighting the clarity and delicacy of its form, while the two robust, hand-formed handles on either side add both practical and sculptural value. The body features gentle vertical undulations that diffuse light softly across its surface, and the thick base is adorned with a delicate starburst cut, contributing a refined artisan detail. Its balanced proportions – a wide opening and a gently tapering silhouette – exemplify the mid-century modern aesthetic. The piece remains in its original condition, with normal signs of wear: minor scratches and small chips are consistent with its age.This object echoes the voice of Italian 1970s design – an era when daily rituals acquired a luminous, understated elegance. The faint amber tint of the glass seems to capture memories of summer evenings and convivial gatherings. The sculpted handles invite touch, more than mere utilitarian features, and the starburst cut at the base hints at a festive note hidden within everyday functionality.The bucket can be placed in a home bar, naturally complementing thick-walled decanters and vintage glassware to enhance a mid-century modern or retro ambiance. It works well atop an oak sideboard or a marble countertop, acting as a refined accent in classic arrangements with a vintage twist. Pairing it with accessories in brass, chrome, or organically shaped ceramics would create a compelling interplay of materials and tones, while in a collector's setting, it could serve as a focal point on a tray alongside classic shakers and whisky tumblers.
