1960s heavy, clear lucite ice bucket designed by famed mid-century designer Alessandro Albrizzi (1934-1994). The clear lucite box is spherically cut on the inside and etched with the world's continents and latitudes/longitudes lines, as well as an orbiting moon in one corner. Albrizzi's work was highly sought after by the "jet set" crowd of the 1960s and 1970s, and this design was a nod to that lifestyle. Rare and still highly sought after today.

Baron Alessandro Albrizzi played a significant role in pioneering mid-century furniture design, particularly in London, where he established his first shop in 1968. His work is characterized by its versatility and timeless appeal, complementing various interior styles from Baroque to Bauhaus. Albrizzi also worked in photography and is known for his work capturing the gardens of Venice, Florence, and New York.


Condition:
Alterations: Original Condition Unaltered
Imperfections: Some Imperfections
Condition Notes: Less than expected wear for age and function. One top corner has some etching marks, and the bottom side also has some lighter etching marks. These are more visible from certain angles than others, and with the marks overlaying the etched globe pattern, they are not highly visible. Otherwise, surface scratching is very minimal for lucite of this age, and no yellowing.
