Dansk Teak Ice Bucket

$275.00

The enduring sensibility of Danish design has proven timeless, with both vintage and contemporary pieces continuing to captivate collectors worldwide. Dansk exemplifies this lasting appreciation for Scandinavian aesthetics. Founded in the 1950s by Martha and Ted Nierenberg, the company was born from their search for finely crafted European housewares. Their journey led them to Danish sculptor and designer Jens Quistgaard, whose collaboration with Dansk would shape the brand’s identity for decades to come. From this partnership emerged thousands of pieces, many considered museum-worthy today, including this functional ice bucket.

Quistgaard’s innovative staved teak construction became a hallmark of Dansk, allowing greater control over form and stability while minimizing the natural flaws of solid wood. This technique made the bowls more resistant to splitting and cracking, ensuring their durability. Dating from the 1960s, this ice bucket remains in excellent condition. Our team has carefully restored it to the same standards upheld across our collection. This piece was gently stripped of surface wear and treated with a food-safe mineral oil, reviving the warm luster of the teak while preserving its intended utility.
