Cast in a rich purple crystal with a frosted, satin finish, the ribbed form catches light beautifully, giving the bucket genuine sculptural presence well beyond its practical use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA polished silver plated steel rim and swing handle top the piece, the handle secured with a ball and socket fitting that allows it to fold flat when the bucket is set down. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSergio Asti was one of the defining figures of Italian design in this period, known for pushing glass and plastic forms toward genuinely sculptural results, and the Onde line remains one of his most recognizable achievements. Arnolfo di Cambio's production quality shows clearly here, in the evenness of the color and the crispness of the ribbed detailing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasuring 6.3 x 6.3 x 4.3\", this bucket brings real color and personality to a bar cart or entertaining setup, equally at home as a functional piece or displayed as a standout object of postwar Italian glass design.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sergio Asti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50149024399498,"sku":null,"price":790.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0639\/1247\/6810\/files\/Sergio_Asti_Onde_Purple_Crystal_Ice_Bucket_and_Tongs_-_Italy_c.1970_2.jpg?v=1790376924","url":"https:\/\/collectorsgene.com\/products\/sergio-asti-onde-purple-crystal-ice-bucket-and-tongs-italy-c-1970","provider":"Collectors Gene","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
