Crafthouse by Fortessa Ice Bucket

The drain grate sits at the bottom of the bucket, elevating your ice above the water that accumulates as it melts. By preventing the ice from sitting in a pool of water, it slows the melting process significantly, keeping your cubes solid for much longer.

The walnut lid is designed for indoor use and is finished to handle the occasional splash or condensation. However, because it is natural wood, it should be wiped dry promptly and never submerged in water or put in the dishwasher.

No, this item is not dishwasher safe. The combination of stainless steel and natural walnut requires hand washing to maintain the integrity of the materials and the finish of the wood lid.

It has a capacity of 106 fluid ounces, which is roughly 3.1 liters. This is a standard, practical size for a home bar setup, sufficient for a small gathering or a cocktail hour for a few guests.

Yes, the tongs are designed with firm grip teeth that make it easy to grab and transfer individual ice cubes without slipping. They are also cleverly integrated into the lid's handle, so you always have a dedicated spot to store them.

This piece is specifically designed for indoor use. While the stainless steel is durable, the walnut lid is not treated for prolonged exposure to outdoor elements like direct sun or humidity, which could cause the wood to warp or degrade over time.
