A beautifully preserved mid-century German cut lead crystal ice bucket, dating to approximately the 1960s, with a substantial hand-cut crystal body, polished silver-plated collar, and articulated swing handle.

The crystal is decorated with a classic combination of large polished thumbprint cuts around the shoulder, a deeply cut criss-cross diamond lattice across the body, and a multi-point starburst cut into the base. Together, these traditional cutting techniques create exceptional brilliance and depth when the bucket catches the light.

The heavy crystal construction is particularly notable. Weighing 1,094 grams, the piece has a substantial, high-quality feel consistent with German lead-crystal barware of the period. The rounded barrel-shaped body is finished with a bright silver-plated collar and smoothly moving swing handle.

An elegant and highly usable piece of vintage barware, suitable for serving ice, chilling a bottle, or displaying as part of a sophisticated cocktail or drinks collection.
