This striking barware piece dates to the 1970s, a period celebrated for bold experimentation with lucite and modernist materials.

Expertly constructed from thick, crystal-clear cast lucite, the design showcases Albrizzi’s signature blend of precision machining and monumental geometry. The bucket is centered by a deeply recessed cylindrical ice well, framed within a layered square body that creates exceptional optical depth and prismatic light refraction from every angle.

The hinged swivel lid lifts smoothly to reveal the interior, allowing for easy access while maintaining a clean, architectural silhouette when closed. The scale and weight are notably substantial, underscoring its luxury production and decorative presence.

Though unsigned, the form, quality, and construction closely align with documented examples attributed to Alessandro Albrizzi and other high-end Italian lucite makers of the era.
