Deep emerald glass, a clean tapered silhouette, and two wonderfully textured clear handles make this vintage Empoli ice bucket a striking addition to the cocktail hour. In softer light, the green appears rich and mysterious; illuminated, it reveals its brilliant jewel tone.

The applied glass handles bring a playful sculptural detail to the otherwise restrained shape. Their rippled surfaces catch the light beautifully against the smooth green body, giving this practical piece plenty of personality.

Fill it with ice for an evening of cocktails, pair it with your favorite vintage glasses, and let it become part of the familiar ritual of welcoming friends. Especially festive on a Christmas bar, its green color is equally inviting for summer aperitivi and everyday entertaining.
