Elevate your home bar or bar cart with this stunning, sculptural vintage Mid-Century Modern pear-shaped ice bucket. Dating from the 1960s to 1970s, this iconic piece perfectly embodies the glamorous Hollywood Regency and Space Age design eras.
Crafted with a sleek, polished aluminum body, this model features a highly sought-after, and rare, three-leaf handle with an integrated stem. The extra foliage adds a beautiful layer of dimension, making this statement piece double as an eye-catching work of art when not in use.
Condition:
Excellent vintage condition. The brilliant metallic finish catches the light beautifully with only minor, authentic surface wear consistent with age. Crucially, the original interior plastic insulating liner is in absolutely perfect, pristine condition—completely free of the cracks, yellowing, or deep stains typical of barware from this era.
The pear form belongs to a particularly appealing chapter of postwar design, when ordinary entertaining pieces were transformed into playful sculptural objects. Pear and other fruit-form ice buckets became especially associated with European and Italian-influenced barware of the Mid-Century/Space Age period.
This example is unmarked, and I have intentionally made no attribution to a particular designer, manufacturer or country of origin.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The original liner is exceptionally clean and appears to have had very little use. The reflective metal exterior presents beautifully and shows the light surface marks and fine scratches expected from age and handling. Try as I might, I could not manage photos without my distorted reflection on the shiny surface. The sculptural stem and all three leaves are intact.
Features:
Design Era: Mid-Century Modern / Hollywood Regency (c. 1960s–1970s)
Form: Sculptural Figural Pear
Details: Rare three-leaf and stem handle, removable lid, intact insulating insert
Care: Features original "Hand Wash Only" care guidance on base
Whether you are a seasoned collector of retro barware or looking for the perfect conversation piece for your next dinner party, this exceptionally well-preserved pear ice bucket is a rare find in this condition.
Ships quickly and securely packaged to preserve its vintage integrity.
