Know before you buy
With a 9-inch diameter and 8.5-inch height, this bucket is sized to comfortably hold a standard 750ml bottle of champagne or wine along with a generous amount of ice.
To preserve the finish, hand wash the bucket with mild soap and warm water, drying it immediately with a soft cloth. Use a high-quality silver polish occasionally to remove tarnish and maintain its luster, avoiding abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the plate.
Yes, the handles are securely attached and designed for functionality. However, because this is a vintage silver-plated piece, it is best practice to support the base with your other hand when carrying the bucket while it is full of ice and liquid.
While the silver plate is durable, it is best to wipe away any standing water or condensation from the exterior after use to prevent water spots or long-term tarnishing. Ensure the piece is completely dry before storing it.
This piece is a genuine vintage item from the renowned Sheffield-based silversmiths, Walker & Hall. It features the classic craftsmanship and design hallmarks associated with their production during the first half of the 20th century.
