There is this article by Mark Hill:

And Walter Pellegrino has this:

Hi there !!!
Good news !!!

By the way it seems that the numeration on the ice bucket is important.
Mark Hill has this:
"The letter of the painted characters on the base usually indicates the shape, V for vase, P for plate, A.T. for ashtray."
C1 B ???
B for bucket ??
The Italian for ice-bucket is 'secchio di ghiaccio'.
Interesting to me is that the numeration / code is based on English words not Italian. Piatto - plate, vaso - vase, portacenere -ashtray and secchio - bucket.
