Produced in Italy during the 1970s, it is made of spun and engraved brass with a finely incised diamond pattern that gives the surface a distinctive tactile texture. The removable lid is crowned with a cluster of sculpted leaves, each hand-cut and soldered to a central stem, demonstrating careful craftsmanship and subtle irregularities typical of hand-worked metal.

The surface shows a beautiful two-tone patina — the lower section has a deeper, warmer gold tone, while the top has been lightly polished over time, creating a soft contrast in color and sheen. A small oxidation bloom on one side of the body adds to the authenticity of the piece and reflects natural aging of solid brass rather than plating loss. The overall effect is rich, warm, and full of character.

Unlined inside, this piece can serve as an ice bucket, decorative container, or sculptural accent on a bar or sideboard. It embodies the sophisticated whimsy that defined 1970s Italian decorative metalwork. See less
