Description :

Vintage James Mont Bronze Ice Bucket with Verdigris Patina

Tripod bronze-style ice bucket modeled after an archaic Chinese ritual ding vessel, featuring stylized taotie mask motifs in relief and a matching lid with animal-head finial handle. The surface is finished with a dark bronze tone and an applied verdigris patina to evoke the look of ancient bronzes. Fitted with a removable stainless steel liner for practical use. The base is impressed with archaic-style seal characters and marked “Made in Taiwan.”

Details:

  • Form: Tripod vessel with lid, ding-inspired

  • Material: Cast metal with verdigris finish; stainless steel liner

  • Origin: Taiwan, mid-20th century

  • Markings: Archaic-style seal mark; stamped “Made in Taiwan”

  • Style: James Mont / Hollywood Regency


Collecting Note:

While not produced by James Mont, this piece reflects the Mont style that merged Eastern design motifs with mid-century luxury. Taiwan-made bronze reproductions of the 1960s–1980s remain collectible today as striking decorative accents or functional barware.
