Crafted entirely of metal, it features an ovoid body with a pronounced geometric relief that replicates the characteristic surface of a pineapple. The top, designed as a lid, is crowned with an elaborate array of individually cut and curved metal leaves, giving the piece a striking sculptural presence.

This type of pineapple-shaped object was particularly popular in European decor and bar accessories during the mid-20th century, combining functionality with an exuberant and sophisticated aesthetic.

The silver-tone metallic finish retains surface variations and an attractive patina, especially visible on the reliefs, which adds depth and character to the piece.

It can be used as an ice bucket, bar accessory, or sculptural decorative element, and is especially suitable for Mid-Century Modern, Hollywood Regency, or 1970s-inspired interiors.

It is in very good overall condition, with minor wear and signs of use consistent with its age. There is a small dent in the base that does not affect its functionality or overall appearance.
