Unbekannt - Ice bucket - Metal - Vintage Pineapple Ice Bucket

Large decorative vintage ice bucket in the shape of a pineapple – an extraordinary bar and design object in the Mid-Century style.

The ice bucket is made of gold-colored metal and features an intricately crafted, highly sculptural pineapple structure. Particularly striking is the large leaves crown. The entire top part can be removed and serves as a lid.

NOTE ON ATTRIBUTION:

In design, proportions, size and execution this ice bucket shows clear similarities to well-known pineapple ice buckets attributed to Mauro Manetti.

In particular the total height of approx. 27.5 cm, the design of the body and the leaves crown, and the two-part construction with removable plastic inner insert correspond very closely to similar comparable pieces.

No manufacturer marking or signature could be found on this specimen. An attribution to Mauro Manetti is therefore not certain. The mention is made solely as a reference to comparable pieces or the corresponding design style.

CONDITION:

Good vintage condition with age- and use-related signs of wear and patina. The removable plastic inner insert also shows age- and use-related signs.

Please study the photos carefully. They show the actual condition and are part of the item description.

An extraordinary vintage ice bucket and decorative focal point for a home bar, serving cart, sideboard or display cabinet – at the same time an interesting collector and design object.
