"Pear" ice bucket, gold-colored, gold-finished material, designed by H. Tur

The FreddoTherm ice bucket, designed by Hans Turnwald in Switzerland during the 1970s, exemplifies luxury barware from the mid-century modern era. Its body, shaped like a stylized pear, is crafted from molded plastic featuring a highly reflective gold finish. A distinct division into two color zones—a cooler, deep gold on the upper section and a warmer, lighter shade on the lower—is accentuated by a subtle tonal transition. The lid is topped with a finely crafted, gilded twig and leaf, serving as both a decorative element and a practical handle. Inside, an insulated plastic liner ensures ice remains frozen for extended periods. The original manufacturer’s label, preserved inside the lid, confirms the item's authenticity. The form is harmonious and organic, with a surface that is perfectly smooth and polished. The bucket is in excellent vintage condition, free from visible signs of wear, and displays a delicate, natural patina consistent with its age. The pear-shaped design seems to capture the spirit of the 1970s—an era when everyday rituals were imbued with imaginative flair. The twig atop the lid is not merely a decorative detail but a subtle nod to nature, reflecting the decade's fascination with synthetic materials and bold color palettes. This ice bucket pairs beautifully with simple glassware, a chrome tray, and minimalist shakers from the same period, highlighting the collectible appeal of the mid-century modern style. It works equally well in a glamour-style living room or as a bold accent in an eclectic interior where gold details break up a monochromatic palette. Height: 20 cm; diameter: 13 cm. The bucket is made of plastic with a gold-colored finish, featuring an insulated inner liner and a handle shaped like a gilded leafy branch. The original FreddoTherm label inside the lid confirms the product's authenticity. Preserved in very good vintage condition.
