Fantastic vintage ice bucket from Georges Briard. Features a footed lacquered brass wire frame holder. The lid features a hand-enameled round ceramic tile that is inset into a gold tone lacquered brass shell with a matching knob. The ice bucket frame and lid were made in Italy and marked as such. The bucket is made by Fire King and has a heavy solid metal shell with a clear glass inner liner. The set has been given a coat of clear lacquer that is UV resistant and non-yellowing, to insure no rusting or deterioration and many decades of enjoyment. The ceramic tile is semi-gloss and there are a few white reflective areas in the photos. There is no missing enamel or wear. There is one very shallow indent on the outer rim of the lid, please see photos. less
