Know before you buy
No, each piece is unique. Because onyx is a natural stone, the veining and color variations will differ from one bucket to the next, making yours a one-of-a-kind item.
To preserve the polished finish, hand wash the bucket with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or the dishwasher, as these can damage the stone's surface.
This piece is crafted from solid stone, which provides natural thermal mass to help keep ice chilled. However, it does not feature the vacuum-sealed insulation found in modern double-walled metal buckets.
This item is designed specifically for indoor use. We recommend keeping it in a climate-controlled environment to protect the natural stone from extreme temperature fluctuations or outdoor elements.
No, this design does not include a lid or a drain plug. It is a minimalist, open-top vessel intended for tabletop service.
