A large Moet Chandon champagne bucket in gloss black, produced as branded hospitality ware for the French house founded in 1743. The Moet Chandon champagne bucket takes the form of a wide, deep bowl set on a stepped pedestal base, a format widely used in restaurants, hotels and event catering. The exterior carries the Moet and Chandon name in white lettering alongside the crown motif and the founding date, all clearly printed on the outer surface.
The body is made from black lacquered plastic, highly polished to a mirror-like finish. From the photos, the material reflects its surroundings strongly, giving a dark reflective appearance. The inside of the bowl is uniformly black and undecorated. The base is also finished in the same gloss black. Visible from the photos are surface scratches consistent with regular use, and the base shows some paint loss and wear at the rim edge. The seller notes the bowl is not perfectly round, which is visible when viewed from above. These are signs of honest use and should be checked carefully in the photos before purchase.
The seller states dimensions of 43cm wide by 25.5cm tall, which converts to approximately 16.9" wide by 10.0" tall. This is a large-format ice bucket, sized to hold multiple bottles simultaneously, as commonly used in professional service settings.
A piece of this type appeals to collectors of branded bar and hospitality items, Moet and Chandon memorabilia, or those looking for a large-format bar accessory with a recognizable French luxury brand. It functions equally well as a display piece, planter or table centrepiece.
