Jug with ice chamber, silver-plated lid and thick cut crystal, Italy, mid-20th century, 2 liters

A magnificent and generously sized traditional Italian jug with integrated ice chamber and hinged lid, crafted in the mid-20th century. With a capacity of 2 liters, this piece is perfect for serving chilled beverages such as water, lemonade, or cocktails without dilution—thanks to the sealed inner chamber designed to hold ice separately from the liquid.

The body is made from exceptionally thick, high-lead-content crystal, adorned with deep vertical faceted cuts that catch and scatter light with brilliance. The silver-plated hinged lid and broad, curved handle lend a stately contrast to the crystal, while the lid opens smoothly and fits securely. A hallmark “W” is stamped on the metal, indicating a reputable Italian maker of the period.

Combining luxury, practicality, and decorative appeal, this piece makes a stunning centerpiece for refined dining or entertaining. Its preserved condition and classic form make it a rare and desirable find for collectors of vintage tableware.
