This elegant and refined French champagne bucket is crafted from high-quality stainless steel. The item, produced in France between 1950 and 1955 by a company specializing in stainless steel manufacturing, features the marking “18G” on its base. This stamp refers to the gauge thickness, a standard unit of measurement for metal materials such as steel or stainless steel. In the standard steel gauge system, 18 gauge corresponds to approximately 1.2 mm in thickness (the exact conversion may vary slightly depending on the type of metal). This is a particularly high thickness for a champagne bucket, underscoring its exceptional quality. The base also bears another mark, which is partially illegible but is likely the manufacturer’s stamp. With a high degree of certainty, we can attribute the production of this bucket to Lyon, a city located in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Lyon is renowned as a major hub for the design and manufacture of high-end hospitality items, including stainless steel accessories like champagne buckets. The bucket was crafted using cold-forming and precision polishing techniques, resulting in a smooth, mirror-like finish on its surface. Horizontal engraved lines on the lower portion of the body add a modern touch to the design while simultaneously enhancing grip during use. The ergonomically designed spherical side handles seamlessly blend aesthetics with functionality. Key Features:
• High-Quality Material: The stainless steel ensures durability, rust resistance, and easy maintenance.
• Elegant Design: Its clean lines and polished finish make it a perfect addition to sophisticated tables and upscale settings.
• Functionality and Versatility: Ideal for keeping champagne, wine, or other fine beverages at the optimal temperature, it’s an essential accessory for dinners, events, and prestigious gifts.
• Robust Craftsmanship: Attention to detail, such as its substantial thickness, ensures the bucket is not only visually appealing but also practical and reliable.
This champagne bucket is not merely a functional item but also a true symbol of elegance. Its timeless design makes it suitable for any setting, from formal dining tables to modern buffets. Thanks to its premium material and classic style, it is an investment built to last, capable of enhancing and elevating any convivial occasion.
