The Ruinart crest and name are printed directly onto the body in black, consistent with pieces made for hotel and restaurant service during that period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bucket is formed in silver-plated metal with a flared trumpet rim and a gently tapered body, widening toward the top in the standard champagne cooler profile. Two brass ring handles are mounted on either side via polished brass boss fittings, providing a warm gold-tone contrast against the silver surface. The exterior shows the swirling reflection pattern typical of hand-polished silver plate. The base carries a stamped maker's mark, partially legible, referencing a French metalworks manufacturer -- consistent with French hotel silver production. The interior and underside show age-appropriate wear including light scratching and patina on the brass fittings, honest signs of use in a professional setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bucket measures approximately 19cm in height \/ 7.5\", with an estimated diameter at the rim of approximately 20cm \/ 7.9\". These dimensions are suitable for a standard champagne bottle with ice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a branded piece from one of France's oldest champagne houses -- founded in Reims in 1729 -- this bucket carries genuine provenance and functions well as a working ice bucket or as a display piece on a bar or sideboard. It is also sought after by collectors of French champagne memorabilia and branded hotel silver.\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-optimised --\u003e","brand":"Unbranded","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57634256945496,"sku":"324773540320_ACC6_FFBD_977E","price":240.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/5776\/2392\/files\/57_2fe38e16-8e41-47cd-9c52-99330efec319.jpg?v=1783159789","url":"https:\/\/fleamarketfrance.com\/products\/french-silver-plated-champagne-bucket-ring-handles-ice-cooler-ruinart-0407269","provider":"Fleamarketfrance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
