Masterfully crafted from exceptionally thick crystal-clear Lucite, this geometric ice bucket is cut with dramatic faceted planes that refract light much like fine crystal. The rounded interior vessel appears to float within the angular exterior, creating a beautiful optical illusion that changes from every angle.

Far more than functional barware, this is a true decorative object—equally at home on a sophisticated bar cart, cocktail cabinet, or displayed as a sculptural accent. The substantial weight, jewel-like construction, and architectural form exemplify the glamorous aesthetic associated with high-end Italian acrylic design of the period.

Measuring approximately 7½ inches wide by 6½ inches tall, this appears to be the desirable medium size.

Condition is very good vintage condition. The Lucite remains beautifully transparent with only minor stress marks and light age-related crazing typical of vintage cast Lucite. These do not detract from its exceptional presentation.

Attribution: This piece is attributed to Alessandro Albrizzi based on its form, construction, materials, and overall design aesthetic. It is unsigned and retains no original label.
