Ice bucket "Pear" FreddoTherm — Hans Turnwald, Switzerland, 1970s

Rare FreddoTherm ice bucket in the shape of a pear, designed and signed by Hans Turnwald in Switzerland in the 1970s. An immediately recognisable silhouette, typical of 1970s bar design, here enhanced by a spectacular gold finish. The lid is topped with a gold rod, an iconic decorative detail of the model. Made from moulded plastic with an insulating inner lining, this bucket perfectly illustrates the Hollywood Regency taste for bar accessories that are both functional, sculptural, and decidedly glamorous. The FreddoTherm by Turnwald brand allows for the identification and authentication of the model. A particularly decorative piece, equally appealing in a vintage bar or repurposed as a sculptural object in a contemporary interior. Era: 1970s. Designer: Hans Turnwald. Manufacturer: FreddoTherm. Country: Switzerland. Style: Hollywood Regency / Mid-Century Modern. Materials: moulded plastic, gold metal. Condition: very good vintage condition, with a white scratch.
