Item Details

A stunning and highly collectible piece of space-age design, this original 1960s “Geleira Maçã” (Apple Ice Bucket) was manufactured by Term-Alex Indústria Brasileira in São Paulo, Brazil. Considered superior in quality to other anodised ice buckets of the era, this premium Brazilian version features a vibrant emerald-green anodised aluminium body topped with an organic, solid brass stem handle.

This substantial Term-Alex model features a heavy, pristine internal liner made of opaque white opalina (milk glass). The glass insert is uniquely suspended within an integrated brass ring, creating a thermal air gap for superior insulation. The bottom of the glass liner is stamped with the maker’s authentic mark: TERM ALEX IND BRAS along with its original patent number. An exceptional, sculptural piece of South American industrial design perfect for any mid-century bar cart or Hollywood Regency interior.

Condition: Excellent vintage condition with only the mildest signs of age. The anodized green finish retains a beautiful, uniform luster with only negligible micro-wear. The solid brass stem shows a gorgeous natural patina, and the internal milk glass liner is pristine, with no chips or cracks.
