About the Item

This striking mid-century Italian ice bucket is designed in the shape of an owl and makes a truly impressive statement piece for any bar or interior. Crafted in Italy during the 1960s, it features a painted aluminum body with hinged wings that lift to reveal the ice compartment inside. The size is generous enough to be used not only as a classic ice bucket but also as a champagne cooler, easily holding a full bottle of champagne. The playful yet brutalist style, combined with the sculptural form, makes this piece both functional and highly decorative. The base is stamped Made in Italy, underlining its authenticity. Materials include aluminum and white plastic, typical of the era’s design language. This vintage bucket shows signs of regular use, with some light rust to the underside of the base, but it remains completely intact and full of character. A true conversation starter and a collector’s item, perfect for mid-century modern enthusiasts and anyone looking to add a touch of Italian design flair to their home.
