Dating to approximately the 1960s–1970s, the bucket features a beautifully rounded apple silhouette, a removable lid topped with a solid brass metal stem handle, and a glass interior liner for holding ice.

Included is a pair of silver-plated claw-style ice tongs, stamped "Silver plate." The tongs fit inside the bucket and complement its vintage character, although they are not believed to be original to the piece.

Perfect for a mid-century bar cart, home cocktail setup, or as a unique gift for a vintage barware collector.
