1960s Mid-Century Modern vintage chrome West Bend Penguin Hot and Cold Server ice bucket, Iconic lidded chrome ice bucket with a row of waddling penguins and Bakelite brown handles and lid knob has been popular since its midcentury introduction. The ice bucket is signed on the underside, West Bend Penguin hot/cold server. Made in West Bend, Wisconsin, USA.
Mostly used as ice bucket, but it can also be used to keep hot foods.
The piece was designed to insulate both hot and cold foods. The penguin was the work of inventor Ralph N. Kircher. He patented the design in 1941 but wartime restrictions on aluminum meant the penguin didn’t really take off until after the war.
