Mauro Manetti Mid-Century Silver-Plated Duck Ice Bucket – Italy

Mauro Manetti Mid-Century Silver-Plated Duck Ice Bucket – Italy

Exceptional vintage Mauro Manetti sculptural duck ice bucket, designed and produced in Italy during the mid-20th century.

One of Manetti’s recognizable animal-form designs, this striking piece transforms functional barware into sculpture. The duck is beautifully modeled with highly detailed plumage across the body, wings, neck and tail, creating incredible texture throughout the silvered surface.

The upper portion lifts away to reveal the original fitted white interior liner, allowing the piece to function as an ice bucket while maintaining its sculptural appearance when closed.

Marked “M/M ITALY”, identifying the piece as an authentic Mauro Manetti Italian design.

A fantastic example of collectible Italian design — equally beautiful displayed as a sculptural object, styled on a bar cart or used for entertaining.
