The Congo Ice Bucket was designed for Dansk by Jens Quistgaard back in 1955.
Whereas most ice buckets are made from plastic, this one is made from teak with an orange plastic lining. It owes its distinctive shape to the Viking helmet and it is pretty big, standing at around 40cm high.

If you don’t want the hassle of bidding on Ebay, Pineapple Ice Bucket currently have one on sale for £100 or Our Show Home has one for £165.
