About the Item

This 1970s Ice Bucket is a unique and stylish piece of functional decor that perfectly encapsulates the design sensibilities of the era. This ice bucket combines elements of Mid-Century Modern design with a touch of whimsy and playfulness. The ice bucket is made of brass, a popular choice of material during the Mid-Century Modern period. Brass was favored for its warm, golden hue and ability to patina gracefully over time. The brass has a sleek and polished finish, adding a touch of luxury to the piece. The ice bucket takes the form of a pumpkin, which was a common motif in Mid-Century Modern design. The pumpkin shape is round and bulbous, resembling the fruit it's named after. The smooth and organic curves of the design are softened and inviting, making it an eye-catching and conversation-starting piece. Its playful design, use of brass, and Italian craftsmanship make it a standout item that would have been appreciated for its form and function during the Mid-Century Modern period and remains a stylish vintage piece today.
