Crafted with a textured cork exterior (warm, natural, and wonderfully tactile), it features a matching cork lid and a sleek metal carrying handle that adds a touch of polished contrast and easy portability.
What sets this one apart is its slightly oversized, generous proportions — taller and more substantial than the typical compact ice buckets of the era. It has real presence on a bar cart, kitchen counter, or styled vignette, making it perfect for parties, cocktail hour, or simply as striking decorative barware.
Designed by the legendary Georges Briard (known for his playful yet sophisticated barware that graced the best Mid-Century homes), this piece blends functionality with retro charm. The cork provides excellent insulation, while the metal handle and hardware give it that signature Briard polish. Whether you're a collector of MCM barware, love natural textures, or simply want a cool, conversation-starting ice bucket that feels luxe and lived-in, this one delivers.
