St. Raphaël Ice Bucket – France, 1950s–1960s

This original St. Raphaël Quinquina ice bucket originates from French bistro and bar culture of the 1950s to 1960s. Crafted from heavy pressed glass with a distinctive diamond pattern and equipped with a movable metal handle, it combines functionality with the unmistakable charm of mid-century design.

The red St. Raphaël Quinquina lettering is a nod to the famous French wine- and quinine-based aperitif that was a staple of French cafés, bistros, and brasseries for decades. Such ice buckets were distributed directly to the hospitality industry as promotional items and were essential for the stylish serving of aperitifs and cocktails.

The heavy pressed glass with its faceted surface creates impressive light reflections, making the ice bucket a decorative object even today. Beyond its original purpose, it is also suitable as a lantern, candle holder, or stylish storage for bar accessories.

The glass base bears the embossed lettering "Made in France," confirming its French origin.
