This elegant and refined French champagne bucket is crafted from 18/10 stainless steel. Produced in France between 1950 and 1955 by a company specializing in stainless steel manufacturing, it features the inscription “Inox 18/10” and a distinctive symbol on its base. France, renowned for its long-standing tradition in champagne production and luxury accessories, has always been synonymous with excellence in this field. While the specific manufacturer could not be identified, the presence of a well-defined mark attests to the artisanal quality and meticulous attention to detail of this piece. The "18/10" marking highlights the use of a premium alloy, recognized for its excellence in high-end stainless steel items. With a high degree of certainty, we attribute the production of this bucket to Lyon, located in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Lyon is a prominent hub for the design and production of upscale dining accessories, including stainless steel items such as champagne buckets. The bucket was crafted using cold-forming techniques and precision polishing, resulting in a smooth, mirror-like finish. Horizontal lines engraved on the lower portion of the body add a modern touch to the design while improving grip during use. The ergonomically designed side handles combine aesthetics with functionality, enhancing both the appearance and practicality of the piece. Made of 18/10 stainless steel, it ensures durability, rust resistance, and easy maintenance. The clean lines and polished finish make this bucket a perfect addition to sophisticated table settings and upscale environments. Ideal for keeping champagne, wine, or other fine beverages at the right temperature, it is an essential accessory for dinners, events, or prestigious gifts.
The attention to detail in its construction ensures that this piece is not only visually appealing but also practical and reliable.
18/10 stainless steel is an alloy composed of 18% chromium and 10% nickel, elements that provide exceptional corrosion resistance and long-lasting brilliance. Developed in the 20th century, this type of stainless steel quickly became a standard for high-quality domestic and decorative items. The chromium ensures oxidation resistance, while the nickel adds a lasting sheen that does not tarnish over time, making it ideal for contact with liquids and food. This champagne bucket is not just a functional item; it is a true symbol of elegance. Its timeless aesthetic makes it suitable for any setting, from a formal dining table to a modern buffet. With its enduring design and premium material, this bucket represents a long-lasting investment, enriching and elevating any convivial occasion. The item is in good condition, showing light wear consistent with age and use.
