Know before you buy
Despite its large, elegant aesthetic, this specific piece is designed with a 5-inch diameter, which comfortably accommodates one standard bottle of champagne or wine.
The silver-plated finish is designed for sophisticated entertaining. To maintain its luster and prevent tarnishing, we recommend hand-washing only and avoiding abrasive cleaners or scrubbers.
No, this piece does not feature a drain plug. Given its size and design, it is best suited for tabletop use where you can easily empty any remaining water after your event.
Clean the bucket by hand using a soft cloth, mild soap, and warm water, then dry it immediately to prevent water spots. If the silver begins to tarnish, use a high-quality silver polish specifically formulated for plated items.
This piece is an authentic 20th-century French design. It features the craftsmanship and decorative elements characteristic of that era, serving as both a functional chiller and a vintage-inspired decorative accent.
