Vintage crystal ice bucket with gold tongs.

Elegant cut crystal ice bucket, probably of French manufacture, in the style of Cristal d'Arques productions from the 1960s-1970s. Its slightly flared shape is highlighted by a geometric design of cut crosshatches that beautifully captures the light. It comes with a matching gilded metal ice tongs, ideal for cocktail preparation or serving drinks. Under ultraviolet light, the glass exhibits a superb green fluorescence characteristic of manganese, a detail appreciated by collectors. The set will add a refined and timeless touch to a bar, an Art Deco interior, or a Mid-Century decoration. Condition. Very good overall condition. Some slight signs of use consistent with its age. Gilded tongs included.
