Reviewers highlight the substantial weight and beautiful hand cut crystal, noting it feels like a true heirloom piece.

Know before you buy
Yes, this piece is crafted from high-quality handmade crystal designed for both display and functional service. While it is robust, it should be handled with the same care as any fine crystal to prevent chips or cracks.
With a 53oz capacity, it is sized perfectly to hold a standard 750ml wine or champagne bottle alongside ice. The wide opening allows for easy placement and removal of the bottle.
The side handles are designed to provide a secure grip, even when the bucket is filled with ice and a chilled bottle. They are integrated into the crystal structure for a seamless, balanced feel during transport.
We recommend hand-washing the bucket with warm, soapy water and drying it immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth to maintain its clarity. Avoid using the dishwasher, as the heat and harsh detergents can damage the crystal over time.
Yes, the included metal tongs are designed to be gentle enough for general use. However, always use a light touch to avoid scratching the surface of this or any other crystal glassware.
