Vintage Em Ess Silver Plate on Copper Small Ice Bucket with Drip Plate and Swing Handle
A beautiful vintage small ice bucket produced by the well known South African silversmiths Em Ess Silverware. Crafted in Silver Plate on Copper and stamped accordingly, this piece retains a brilliant shine with minimal silver loss, which is uncommon for its age.
Classic Profile Sleek polished body enhanced by two refined horizontal bands that add subtle detail without overpowering the form.
Swing Handle Sturdy and fully functional swivel handle for easy lifting and serving.
Original Drip Plate Includes its original removable metal insert. This frog foot style plate allows the ice to sit above the meltwater, helping to keep cubes chilled and solid for longer.
Versatile Use Originally intended for bar service, but equally suitable as a rose bowl or elegant centerpiece vase for floral arrangements.
