Know before you buy
Because this is an antique piece, avoid the dishwasher entirely. Clean it by hand using a soft cloth and mild soap, and if you wish to maintain the shine of the copper and brass, use a specialized metal polish sparingly.
The bucket is constructed from durable copper and is designed to hold ice and water directly. However, as it is an antique, we recommend testing it with water before your first event to ensure the seals remain sound.
With a 7.5-inch diameter, this bucket is sized for a single standard bottle of champagne or wine. It is best suited for intimate table settings rather than large-scale beverage service.
This piece features the original maker's mark, 'Joseph Heinrichs Paris-New York,' which is stamped on the item. This provenance identifies it as an authentic production from the early 1900s.
Yes, copper is a reactive metal and will naturally develop a darker, richer patina with exposure to air and moisture. Many collectors prefer this aged look, but it can be polished away if you prefer the original bright finish.
