About the Item

A striking apple-shaped ice bucket dating from the 1970s, crafted in gilt metal with a high-gloss reflective finish. The piece features a beautifully modeled lid topped with a sculptural leaf, adding a subtle decorative accent to its pure, rounded form. The interior is lined with glass, providing both functional insulation and a refined material contrast. Elegant, playful, and unmistakably vintage, this piece exemplifies the era’s taste for sculptural barware and iconic organic shapes.
