Vintage Towle GRAND DUCHESS Silverplate Ice Bucket Champagne Wine Chiller Cooler
Have a special occasion coming up where you want to keep the bubbly on ice - and in style? Gorgeous vintage silverplate ice bucket is exactly the useful accent to have! Big, at nearly 11 inches tall, it has a classic Regency-style trophy shape with deeply sculptured roses embellishing the rim and the two handles. It has an inner liner bucket for changing out the melted ice easily. I've polished it up brightly, with just enough oxidation left (as it should be!) to bring out the detail of the roses!
Would be perfect for weddings, New Years', graduations or any other special occasion!
Excellent pre-owned vintage condition, no dents or cracks, slight marks of previous use and polishing. Clean, hand washed and ready to use or display. May need an occasional going-over with Tarn-X for brightness. The interior liner bucket is utilitarian in material and design.
Shipped quickly and packed with great care. Shipping is determined by the post office based on your location and how many zones away you are from our MI location, and we do not mark it up. Default shipping is US Ground Advantage; but UPS Ground, FedEx Ground, or US Priority Mail are also available when checking out, if you prefer.
The Fine Print from Huns4fun’s Beautiful Things for You:
Welcome! If you are here, you probably love vintage and antique glassware, too!
We are enthusiasts, but not experts. We try to share as much background on the pieces as we can; but it is only informed opinion. Please take it as so. We love learning and welcome additional information if you have it!
We try very hard to find and point out any flaws _exactingly_ so you know what you are getting. Please read the description and look carefully at the photos - we will provide closeups of flaws, often circled, so you can evaluate them yourself. Photos are to be considered part of the description. We generally do not refer to flaws original to manufacture (i.e. bubbles, nubs, slubs) unless they are very distinctive. Vintage and antique items are by definition, old. They will have the marks and wear commensurate with their age; with vintage and antique items these are part of their charm and beauty, evocative of the passage of time. We will try to describe this wear carefully, but some wear is to be expected.
Decorative photo materials such as silk flowers, trays, mirrors and etc. are not included unless this is expressly mentioned in the listing. They are there to help show vintage glassware and china can be displayed and repurposed beautifully in many ways!
Because of the practical difficulty of packing and shipping fragile glass items, we do not accept returns. Review all information carefully so you are sure of your purchase. We treat all of our customers with courtesy and respect; we welcome any contact if you feel your purchase has not lived up to your expectations. Please contact us before leaving neutral or negative feedback, and please be kind; we take all feedback to heart.
Because we love vintage items, we pack glassware with the utmost of care, with multiple layers of bubble wrap, additional padding, and Fragile stickers. Breakage has been very, very rare, less than 1% of our shipments. However, we can't prevent rough handling, machine damage, or misdirection once the shipping service has it in their hands. Packages are insured for their sold price, excluding shipping costs, and all refunds due to breakage will be divided by the number of items in the package (i.e. no full refunds for one item broken out of a set.) Absolutely let us know if this happens! We will need photos of the broken item(s), packing and packaging before any insurance claim or refund.
Note: we don't control shipping costs. Shipping is determined by weight, size, and how many zones you are away from our MI location. We do not charge handling fees. Shipping is often pre-calculated depending on weight and expected size; you will not pay more than estimated, but you may pay less. We not infrequently rebate back excess; you may see this as a partial refund message from eBay when we ship. If it is an oversize box, we may switch to a shipping service better suited to large packages and will pass any savings, if any, along to you.
We have noticed an uptick in misdirected shipments, and it's distressing for everyone when a package goes awry. We can only ship to verifiable addresses, and reserve the right to decline sales to no or low feedback accounts. If you have not received your package, check the tracking information eBay sends to you. Remember delivery through hurricanes and winter storms can slow shipping. Please let us know if it has gone a week past the delivery date; each package is important to us but we may not have noticed. If it's listed "in transit" by the shipping service, it's on its way, but there's no way for us to make it go faster!
Thank you for looking at our items! We hope if you are interested in unique, sustainable, heirloom quality crystal, ceramics and glassware, you have found something here you love!
