Description from the seller
Ice bucket in milky crystal with a silvered metal mounting – Italy, mid-20th century
Elegant ice bucket of Italian manufacture dating from the mid-twentieth century, made in precious hand-cut crystal and embellished with a refined silvered metal mounting finely chased with floral and vegetal motifs. The swing handle, also decorated, gives the piece timeless elegance and facilitates use.
The crystal body features rich geometric workmanship with deep facets and star-shaped engravings, typical of the best European artisanal production of the period, capable of enhancing the brilliance and transparency of the material and creating splendid plays of light.

The piece is presented in excellent overall condition, with crystal perfectly transparent and free from chipping or cracks. The mounting retains a pleasant patina of time consistent with the piece’s age.
