What customers say
The Mirage Bucket earns high praise primarily for its exceptional design and superior quality. Its sculptural form and intricate metalwork establish it as a true statement piece that surpasses expectations upon viewing. Customers frequently note the substantial weight and flawless finish, confirming the artisanal craftsmanship justifies the premium price. While functional as an ice bucket, its greatest value lies in its significant aesthetic impact during entertaining. This piece is clearly valued for its visual appeal and enduring build.
Know before you buy
The bucket is hand-forged from high-quality stainless steel, which provides both durability and a polished, reflective surface.
With a diameter and depth of 8 inches, this bucket is sized to comfortably hold one standard bottle of wine or champagne along with ice.
While the hammered texture creates a unique visual effect, the polished stainless steel surface is smooth and easy to wipe down with a soft, damp cloth.
While it is designed to function as a beverage chiller, its sculptural aesthetic makes it an excellent decorative accent for holding florals or simply displaying as a standalone art piece.
Because it is made from stainless steel, it does not tarnish like silver. Simply hand wash with mild soap and water, then dry immediately with a soft cloth to maintain its luster.
