Hand-painted and increasingly rare to find

Ask any household in Denmark about this iconic piece of glassware

The piece is coloured a rich deep red-brown with moss yellow ashing and patchy salt glazing from the kiln

we find it to be a charming scar of the piece’s history and decided against repairing

The stems not only exist to produce their signature glug-glug sound but also to aerate the liquid inside

Teak ice bucket, Jens Quistgaard, Dansk Designs, Denmark. 1950s. accessories Hand-painted and increasingly rare toDesigned by the prolific Jens Quistgaard for Dansk Designs, Denmark, a teak ice bucket produced in the 1950s. Typical of Quistgaard's work, this ice bucket one of many designs in a broad and varied range is as sculptural as one would expect. The tapered walls are meticulously constructed from well matched teak panels or blocks before turning, and the same can be said for the lid which is ever so slightly dished to match its handle and soften the form.
