This elegant mid-20th century sterling silver ice bucket features decorative rope-twist banding along the top and bottom rims. The bucket is adorned with impressive lion head handles, each grasping a ring, adding a touch of classical grandeur. The interior includes a drain and a removable grate to keep ice elevated. The item is likely silver-plated, indicated by the visible wear that reveals a base metal underneath in some areas. The style suggests a mid-century manufacturing period, possibly drawing inspiration from earlier Georgian or Victorian silver designs. In one image, a mark "CDM FPC / 315" is visible on the underside, which may correspond to the manufacturer. This piece would make a sophisticated addition to any barware collection.
