An instantly recognizable silhouette, typical of 1970s bar design, here enhanced by a spectacular silver and tortoiseshell finish. The lid echoes the shape of the fruit, lending the piece its characteristic sculptural dimension.

Made of molded plastic with an insulating lining, this bucket perfectly illustrates the Hollywood Regency taste for bar accessories that are functional, sculptural, and undeniably glamorous.

The Freddotherm / Swiss Patent International marking identifies and authenticates the model.

A particularly decorative piece, equally at home in a 1970s bar or transformed into a sculptural object in a Hollywood Regency-inspired interior. Its combination of silver and tortoiseshell works especially well with chrome, brass, crystal, and velvet.
