The stamp on the base reads clearly \"Metaux Ouvres Vesoul \/ Le Trefle \/ Cuivre\" confirming both the maker and the material. This French copper champagne bucket dates most likely to the mid-20th century and was made for hotel or restaurant service use, a common application for this type of vessel in France during that period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is spun copper with a flared rim and a slightly tapered cylindrical form. Three incised parallel lines run around the upper section of the body, with a matching set of three lines near the base, giving the piece a clean, restrained Art Deco-influenced profile. Two circular ring handles in aged brass are mounted on opposing sides via round boss fittings. The copper exterior has been polished and shows a warm reddish-amber tone with natural variation and light surface patina consistent with age and use. The interior shows the darker oxidation typical of unlined copper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bucket measures approximately 20cm in height as noted in the seller description, which converts to approximately 7.9 inches. The opening diameter at the rim is estimated at approximately 19cm \/ 7.5 inches and the base diameter at approximately 14cm \/ 5.5 inches based on visible proportions. These dimensions make it well sized for a standard Champagne or wine bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis French copper champagne bucket works well as a functional wine cooler, a bar accessory, or as a display piece in a kitchen or dining room. The stamped maker's mark adds provenance and collector interest for those who follow French metalware manufacturers.\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":"Rothschild","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57634257437016,"sku":"324769304248_98B7_5BD7_CB45__FBA","price":124.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/5776\/2392\/files\/57_53cf9a62-8087-4249-ba12-6dc59a68e3d8.jpg?v=1783159815","url":"https:\/\/fleamarketfrance.com\/products\/french-vintage-champagne-ice-bucket-copper-metaux-ouvres-cooler-04072614","provider":"Fleamarketfrance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
