Ice Bucket Pear-Shaped Silver Bar Teghini

By Teghini

Located in Catania, IT

In the 1970s, Italian design was synonymous with elegance and experimentation, with manufacturers specializing in metalworking that created objects that were as functional as they were refined. Among these, Teghini stands out, a Tuscan company famous for producing furnishing accessories and tableware in silver-plated metal. Its objects were distinguished by their attention to detail, impeccable finishes and shapes inspired by nature, which blended craftsmanship and modernity in a unique style. This splendid pear-shaped ice bucket, made by Teghini in the 1970s, is a perfect example. Its harmonious silhouette, entirely in polished metal, reflects the light with elegance, while the lid is embellished with a finely crafted branch with a cast leaf, a testament to the care and craftsmanship of the time. In addition to its practical function, this piece is a true decorative element, capable of enriching any environment with a Mid-Century touch, from a home bar to a refined living room. Thanks to its timeless design and quality construction, the Teghini ice bucket...
