Christopher Collection Ice Bucket

Yes, copper is a traditional material for beverage service. However, because this is an antique piece, we recommend using it primarily as a vessel for ice or pre-bottled drinks rather than direct food storage.

To preserve the polished finish, hand wash the bucket with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges or dishwasher use, as these can damage the antique metal surface.

No, this piece does not feature a drain plug. Given its age and construction, it is designed as a solid vessel, so you will need to manually empty any melted ice water.

This ice bucket is specifically designed for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements and humidity may cause the copper to oxidize or tarnish more rapidly than it would in a controlled indoor environment.

With dimensions of 23 inches wide, this oval bucket is quite spacious. It can comfortably accommodate several standard wine or champagne bottles along with a generous amount of ice for entertaining.

This piece features a polished finish consistent with its antique nature. While it arrives looking bright, copper is a reactive metal that will naturally develop a patina over time, which many collectors appreciate for its historical character.
