Mid-Century Modern Glass Ice Bucket with Ribbed Base

This item is a contemporary or Mid-Century Modern style clear glass ice bucket, characteristically used for barware. The vessel's primary construction features a slightly tapered, cylindrical body of transparent glass that transitions into a heavily weighted, multi-tiered ribbed or 'beehive' style base. This decorative base adds significant structural stability and a rhythmic visual texture. It is equipped with two small, circular glass ring handles applied to opposite sides of the upper rim, facilitating a secure grip. The glass appears to be of moderate thickness, suggesting durable machine-pressed or hand-blown production, likely from the mid-to-late 20th century. Based on the visual clarity, the material is likely soda-lime or lead-free crystal glass. The condition appears fair to good; there are visible surface scratches consistent with use, particularly around the outer rim and the bottom of the vessel. The clarity of the glass remains high, without significant clouding or 'sickness,' though slight reflections from the background suggest organic wear from cleaning. No maker's marks or signatures are immediately visible in the provided image, but the style is reminiscent of glassmakers like West Virginia Glass or similar European manufacturers. The craftsmanship is evidenced by the even distribution of the ribs and the symmetrical application of the loop handles.
