Mid-Century Silver-Plated Ice Bucket w/ Lift-Action Lid - 11½"

A silver-plated ice bucket, Art Deco to mid-20th century in style, designed with clean, functional lines and an understated elegance. The cylindrical body is fitted with a hinged lid ingeniously operated by the handle: lifting it raises the lid smoothly for easy access - see video. It retains its original glass liner, encased with a cork insulating layer to help keep contents cool, and features a discreet bracket at the side to hold a serving spoon or tongs. The surface presents a soft, timeworn sheen with light marks consistent with use, while the interior remains functional, with age-related cracking to the insulating material. 

Practical yet refined, this piece transitions effortlessly from alfresco summer gatherings to more formal indoor entertaining, offering both convenience and quiet sophistication.
