An ice service for an household refrigerator comprising an ice receptacle and a flexible freezing tray so designed that the tray can be stacked on the receptacle in its upright position and, in the inverted position, can be supported on the receptacle so that pressure on an unsupported corner of the tray will twist the tray for ejection of ice pieces therefrom. To this end the receptacle is provided with a section extending upwardly from the rear wall thereof and having a slot for receiving a handle on one end of the tray when the tray is in an inverted position above the receptacle and a projection extending upwardly from a front portion of a receptacle sidewall for supporting a forward side portion of the inverted tray. This projection plus the anchoring of the handle in the slot supports the tray so that a downward pressure on an unsupported forward corner portion of the tray will twist the tray to release ice pieces therefrom.
