This ice bucket is almost forty years old. It was designed in 1973 by Martin Roberts for Conran’s Input line and is in Moma’s permanent collection.

The great thing about vintage plastics is that many people do not even think about plastic when they are searching for good stuff at thrift shops and yard sales, so you still have a good chance of finding some treasures. At Goodwill, plastic items are all displayed together, so you might find something like this, in there along with the dish drainers, Tupperware, and football-shaped popcorn bowls.

Not that there’s anything wrong with Tupperware, by the way. I’ll be showing off some of my 70’s Servalier cannisters soon enough.
