Bold, bright, and cheerfully surreal, this oversized tomato- or apple-shaped ice bucket is a classic example of Italian 1970s pop design. Made of shiny red plastic with a green stem and leaves, it opens to reveal a white insulated interior for keeping ice cubes or chilled snacks on hand.
This piece is authentic vintage from the 1970s, made in Italy and marked as such on the base. It shows light surface wear consistent with age and use but is overall in beautiful condition. The stem and both leaves are intact, which is rare for this model.
Blends effortlessly into both vintage-inspired and contemporary interiors, whether you're curating a full retro bar cart or just want a punchy pop of red in a modern kitchen. Perfect for collectors or for anyone looking to liven up their table or cocktail setup with a hit of mid-century pop design.
