The form is the one every French bistro and grand hotel knew well: a deep, tulip-shaped bowl that widens at the lip to cradle a bottle at just the right angle, finished with a finely detailed gadroon border at the rim and a matching band at the foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets this piece apart are the two cast lion head ring handles, each holding a twisted rope ring in its mouth -- a motif drawn from French neoclassical silversmithing that translated beautifully into 20th-century hotel silver. The exterior carries a high mirror polish that still reflects the room, with the warm tonal shifts that come with honest use. On a bar cart, a sideboard or a tablescape, it reads as confident and well-bred without trying too hard. The stamped mark reads Saint Hilaire \/ France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age. Light surface wear to the body and some tarnish in the recesses of the handles, entirely in keeping with a piece that has been used and enjoyed.\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":58935141892440,"sku":"FMF-E9Y7CGTF","price":321.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/5776\/2392\/files\/7ad430dddc6b2d6774c8d099511d6a05.jpg?v=1793034520","url":"https:\/\/fleamarketfrance.com\/products\/french-silver-plated-champagne-ice-bucket-lion-2610269","provider":"Fleamarketfrance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
