This amazing Brutalist ice bucket is reminiscent of James Mont designs. The bucket is made of heavy cast metal with bronzing applied sparingly across the Asian design. The idea is inspired by ancient Chinese incense burners. 
These are made of a white metal and then finished to look like a patinated bronze or copper. The ice bucket is lined with a stainless steel bowl encased in the iconic sea foam aqua green colored plastic with a lined lid featuring the same plastic. In some minor spots the light metal can be seen beneath the grey/black patina, but does not detract from the beauty and quality of this particular specimen.
