Know before you buy
This piece is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the polished finish, hand wash it with mild soap and warm water, then dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
No, the Mirage Ice Bucket is designed as an open-top vessel without a lid, handles, or a drain plug. Its focus is on the sculptural, hand-forged aesthetic.
Because of the highly polished finish, fingerprints may be visible with frequent handling. You can easily buff them out using a soft, dry microfiber cloth.
With a height of 8 inches and a diameter of 6.5 inches, this bucket is best suited for chilling a single bottle of wine or champagne, or for holding a standard amount of ice for tabletop service.
While the surface features a rippled, undulating texture inspired by desert landscapes, it is polished and smooth to the touch, making it comfortable to handle.
