About the Item
Hallmarked in London in 1988, this sterling silver and glass ice bucket was made by James W. Powell. The cylindrical glass body is topped with a broad silver mount, shaped in a jagged, icicle-like form. A swing handle is fitted to either side. At the base sits a removable sterling silver strainer, pierced with a stylised snowflake—subtly reinforcing the ice-themed design.
Also included is a matching pair of silver ice tongs with clean, angular tips. The overall aesthetic is minimal, with crisp lines and a cool contrast between clear glass and polished silver. Though clearly contemporary, the detailing adds just enough character to elevate it beyond the purely functional.
Late 20th-century sterling silver barware is relatively uncommon, and this example combines thoughtful design with fine materials. Suitable for both display and use, particularly in modern or design-forward settings.
