Know before you buy
Yes, the polished stainless steel finish is reflective and may show fingerprints with regular use. A quick wipe with a soft, dry microfiber cloth will easily restore its luster.
The bucket is designed with a balanced, round shape that is easy to grip from the sides. At 7.5 inches wide, it is sized for comfortable handling, though we recommend using an ice scoop for serving.
This piece is crafted from a single layer of polished stainless steel. While it is excellent for serving ice, it does not have double-wall insulation, so you may notice some condensation on the exterior in humid environments.
Yes, because each piece is handmade, you will see subtle, unique variations in the metalwork. These intentional imperfections are part of the artisanal process and ensure that no two buckets are exactly alike.
Yes, the Ripple Effect Ice Bucket is dishwasher safe. We recommend placing it on the top rack and using a mild detergent to maintain the integrity of the polished finish over time.
