An iconic example of Czech modernism from the famous Sklo Union glassworks. Designed by Rudolf Jurnikl, this sculptural ice bucket is made of thick, pressed glass in an aquamarine shade. The distinctive geometric relief and expressive handles give it an almost futuristic look, while the star motif on the bottom is a subtle detail that testifies to the precision of its craftsmanship.
