Actually, I think that this would make the cubes melt faster since they have more exposed surface area…
Table Server Saves Ice Cubes
DESIGNED to keep ice cubes from freezing together, a table server has been marketed with a separate compartment for each cube. Its manufacturers claim ice will melt less quickly in the server than in the ordinary pail or dish.
Looks like they were trying to come up with another use for a stove top toast maker.
I want to know how I can get those perfect ice cubes they have there, that appears to be a technology that is lost to the ages

Are they airbrushed or are they Bakelite?

Given the date, the cubes were probably cut from clear block ice. It’s not difficult to get beautiful results that way - it’s the same kind of ice (though not made the same way) as is today used for little but ice sculptures.

Truly a graceful and elegant touch to any high-end restaurant table. Or something.
The Google ads offering “Ice Cubes” and (perhaps more honesty) “Ice Cubes Melting” - awesome touch, here.
