DIMENSIONS:In really extraordinarily well-preserved overall condition, with perhaps a few slight, very minor scuffs and 'touches' to its otherwise ne...arly flawless, highly reflective glossy enamel exterior surfaces. In thirty-five years in the fine art and antique's business, this is only the second one of these mid-20th century vintage Cathrineholm Norway lotus flower stenciled pattern enamel and polymer liner, handled ice buckets I've ever handled, which attests to how truly rare and very scarce they are indeed. Splendid and just in time for the holidays. The white polymer liner on the inside of the enamel lid, as well as the white polymer liner on the inside of the enamel bucket are without stains, significant yellowing, abrasions or enamel loss. In fact, there are no flea-bites or enamel blow-outs and if the enamel ice bucket was even used, it was clearly only occasionally used and most probably used for special entertaining events and soirees. For those who already love vintage Scandinavian enamelware or for those not already acquainted with it, this is a piece to top off a collection or to begin a new one. Magnificent. Come on, who's on your gift list? Just think how wonderful you'll feel with such a generous gift, such as this would undoubtedly be, for those discerning, discretionary people with impeccable taste and high-minded decorating sense, so near and dear to you. You know what you have to do. It's simple. Buy it and gift it. You'll be a holiday hero, that's for sure.
