Know before you buy
This ice bucket is crafted from signature sand-cast metal, which is then hand-polished to achieve its high-shine, textured finish.
No, this model does not feature a drain plug. We recommend using a small pair of tongs to remove remaining ice or simply emptying it into a sink once your gathering concludes.
To maintain the shine, hand wash the piece with mild soap and water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that could scratch the textured surface.
The bucket is made of solid sand-cast metal, which provides a sturdy vessel for ice, but it is not double-walled or vacuum-insulated. It is best suited for shorter gatherings or as a decorative tabletop accent.
Yes, its round shape and generous size make it an excellent chiller for a single bottle of wine or champagne. It also works well as a decorative centerpiece for floral arrangements or as a catch-all for bar accessories.
