About the Item

This ice bucket from the 1970s is a unique and elegant piece made of brass, a popular material in that period. Brass was preferred for its warm, golden hue and ability to patina gracefully over time. The ice bucket has the round, bulbous shape of a pumpkin. The smooth, organic curves of the design are soft and inviting, making it an eye-catching piece.
