Up for auction is this spectacular Carlo Masini Italian crystal ice bucket with Masini hallmarked .800 silver rim, swinging handle, tongs and bottom insert. The heavy bucket, which measures about 10 1/2 inches tall with swinging handle extended, has a pressed glass design. The .800 silver rim of the bucket has its own pattern. The swinging handle haqs a concave shape. The 7 inch long .800 silver hallmarked tongs has a pattern on both the upper and lower portions.... The .800 Masini hallmarked insert, to be placed at the bottom of the bucket, has 3 raised feet and holes so the water from the melted ice can drip to the bottom and not melt the rest of the ice cubes!. The handle of the bucket, the tongs and the insert all have their .800 silver hallmarks (the bucket and the insert have the exact "197 FI 800" Masini logo and hallmark...the tongs have the logo and .800 but not the "197 FI"). The bucket has remnants of the original Masini foil lead crystal sticker! These marks date the piece to around 1960...a true mid-century modern item! The bucket and insert are in excellent condition with no defects. The tongs have a few minor dents/scratches but are still attractive, viable and well intact. All in all, a great set in nice shape offered with NO RESERVE!!
