Brass ice bucket in the shape of a pumpkin, 1970s









This ice bucket from the 1970s is a unique and elegant piece of functional furniture that perfectly encapsulates the design sensibility of the era. This ice bucket combines elements of Mid-Century Modern design with a touch of whimsy and playfulness. The ice bucket is made of brass, a material popular in the Mid-Century Modern period. Brass was favoured for its warm golden hue and its ability to patina gracefully over time. Brass has an elegant, polished finish that adds a touch of luxury to the piece. The ice bucket is shaped like a pumpkin, a common motif in Mid-Century Modern design. The shape of the gourd is round and bulbous, reminiscent of the fruit from which it takes its name. The soft, organic curves of the design are softened and inviting, making it an eye-catching and conversation piece. Its playful design, use of brass and Italian craftsmanship make it a standout item that would have been appreciated for its form and function during the Mid-Century Modern period and remains an elegant vintage piece today.
