A beautifully substantial piece of old-world barware, this hand-forged Turkish copper ice bucket is entirely hand hammered, giving the copper its wonderful irregular surface, warm tonal variation, and unmistakable artisan character. The low, generous form is finished with sculptural brass-toned side handles and traditional raised banding around the body.
At approximately 9 inches long, it is wonderfully versatile—large enough to hold a generous amount of ice for cocktails while still compact enough to live beautifully on a bar cart, console, or drinks table. The aged copper surface is particularly good, with the mellow patina and minor variations expected from a genuinely hand-worked piece rather than modern machine-made barware.
Paired with its long-handled hand-forged copper scoop, it makes an especially handsome addition to a well-appointed home bar.
CONDITION
Very good vintage condition with naturally occurring patina, surface variation, minor scratches, oxidation, and evidence of hand forging throughout. These characteristics are part of the beauty and individuality of handmade copper.

STYLING SUGGESTIONS
