Parchment ice bucket model 935D with Fornasetti decoration by Aldo Tura, 1950

Refined and extremely rare ice bucket thermos model 935D by Aldo Tura and Bottega Fornasetti, Milan, 1950s, crafted in parchment with hand-painted figurative decoration. Produced in only a very limited number of examples, this model represents one of the most sought-after and sophisticated versions of Tura’s production. The object features a sinuous silhouette, slightly flared toward the base, with a curved brass side handle and a polished gilt metal lid fitted with an elegant ring handle. The surface is clad in parchment in warm shades of green and brown, enriched by a sequence of stylized hand-painted figures in light green tones, framed within architectural arches that evoke classical motifs. The interior is lined with insulating material, typical of Tura’s production, designed to keep ice at the proper temperature. The original Tura Milano Italia label is present beneath the base, attesting to the authenticity and provenance of the piece. This ice bucket is not merely a functional bar accessory, but a true collectible object-sculpture—an expression of luxury, craftsmanship, and decorative refinement, intended for the most discerning collectors. Excellent vintage condition, with original “Tura Milano Italia” label under the base. Minor signs of age may be present, consistent with time, and do not affect its functionality.
