The seau a champagne -- the traditional French champagne bucket -- was a fixture of celebratory dining, equally at home on a white-linen restaurant table or a sideboard set for entertaining. The body is silver plated over what appears to be a copper base, with the lower third wrapped in a tight horizontal ribbing that adds both visual weight and grip. Two ring handles on shaped circular mounts sit at opposing sides, functional and cleanly detailed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper body carries a high mirror polish that still reflects strongly, giving the piece genuine presence on a bar cart, drinks trolley or console. The underside bears a small stamped mark within a rectangular cartouche -- visible in the photos -- which suggests production by a European silverplate house. Today it works beautifully as a wine or champagne chiller, a vessel for flowers or greenery, or simply as a handsome object on a shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age. Two visible tarnish marks on the upper exterior body, shown clearly in the photos; light wear and surface scratching to the base and interior, all of which speak to genuine use over the decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApprox. 8.1 in tall (20.5 cm).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95% of my items are tariff-free to the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- fmf-shopify --\u003e","brand":"Fleamarketfrance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58864278176088,"sku":"FMF-GG7J6ZWF","price":212.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/5776\/2392\/files\/72a072e58c0a4591dbc40fd5bfb36d6e.jpg?v=1792502823","url":"https:\/\/fleamarketfrance.com\/products\/french-silver-plated-champagne-bucket-20102626","provider":"Fleamarketfrance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
