Mid Century Pressed Glass Ice Bucket With Lid

£50.00

British company Century pressed glass ice bucket in an intricate geometric design with a fleur de lis handled lid.

This could easily be used as something other than an ice bucket, for example, in a bathroom for cotton balls or in the kitchen for biscuits.

Pressed glass is a type of glassware created by mechanically pressing molten glass into a metal mould using a plunger, a process that allows for mass production of intricate designs and patterns. Developed in the 19th century, this technique contrasts with hand-blowing by using a mould to shape both the interior and exterior forms of a piece, though sometimes mould seams are visible unless polished out.
