Tommi Parzinger Barware

German, 1903-1981

German furniture designer Tommi Parzinger brought high-style modernism to the forefront. Taking a vivid, stylized approach to mid-century furniture, many of his works feature boldly colored lacquers and offbeat finishes that make his pieces stand out among the works of his peers. Despite his uniquely progressive vision, Parzinger showed equal expertise in producing fine, traditional furnishings.

Born in Munich, Parzinger moved to New York City in 1932. He began his practice in the United States by designing for the Manhattan style trailblazer Rena Rosenthal. In 1939, he established his first company, which split its focus between handcrafted silver household items — such as tea sets and barware — and home furnishings, like dining tables and cabinets. In his first year in business, Parzinger exhibited several pieces of furniture at the 1939 New York World’s Fair. 

A master craftsman, Parzinger sought out the most exceptional materials for his furniture, employing the finest woods — like mahogany and walnut — as well as including custom brass hardware and pewter inlays.

His silver works presented an elevated level of style and grace. A November 1939 article in LIFE magazine described Parzinger as “the most creative original designer of silverware in the United States.”

While he was still running his own business — creating 12 to 30 new designs each year — Charak Furniture Company appointed Parzinger as its head of modern furniture design. He modernized Charak’s design approach from a more traditional form to a mid-century modern style.

In the mid-1960s, Parzinger stopped designing furniture, turning his company over to his friend Donald Cameron. He shifted his attention to paintings, which he created until his death in 1981.

F.B. Rogers Silver Co. Lidded Silverplate Ice Bucket with Milk Glass Liner
F.B. Rogers Silver Co. Lidded Silverplate Ice Bucket with Milk Glass Liner

F.B. Rogers Silver Co. Lidded Silverplate Ice Bucket with Milk Glass Liner

By F.B. Rogers Silver Co.

Located in Oklahoma City, OK

This elegant lidded ice bucket was produced by the esteemed F.B. Rogers Silver Company, a respected American silver manufacturer founded in 1883. The piece features a classic silver-plated exterior with restrained neoclassical lines, scroll-form side handles, and a domed lid topped with a sculptural acorn finial. Inside, the bucket retains its original milk glass liner, designed to insulate ice while protecting the silverplate from moisture—an increasingly rare and highly desirable feature. The base is stamped “F.B. Rogers Silver Co.” along with a crown emblem and the date 1883, which references the company’s founding year, not the production date. The number 6599 or 8599 is a model or pattern number, used internally by the manufacturer. This stamp confirms the piece is silverplate (not sterling) and authentic to F.B. Rogers’ mid-20th-century production, when the firm was especially known for refined barware and entertaining pieces. With its substantial weight, timeless silhouette, and practical liner, this ice bucket bridges function and decorative appeal, making it ideal for both use and display. Maker & Markings Maker: F.B. Rogers Silver Company (USA) Founded: 1883 Stamp Meaning: “1883” = company founding date Crown mark = F.B. Rogers trademark 6599 or 8599 = model/pattern number Material: Silverplate over metal with original milk glass liner Origin: United States Period: Mid-20th century Materials & Construction Exterior: Silverplate with polished finish Interior: Thick white milk glass insert Details: Cast scroll handles, domed lid, decorative acorn finial Base: Raised circular foot for stability and elegance Styling Ideas: Style on a bar cart or cocktail console with crystal decanters. Use as a functional ice bucket for entertaining or champagne service. Display on open shelving in a library, dining room, or butler’s pantry. Beautiful layered into traditional, English country, Hollywood Regency, or old-money interiors. Works equally well styled empty as a sculptural silver accent. This piece pairs beautifully with cut crystal, vintage bar tools...
