Seau à champagne

The hand-blown glass is thinner and more elegant than any metal bucket I've owned, and those integrated handles make pouring a bottle of bubbly feel like a ceremony. The scissor-cut rim catches the light beautifully even when it's empty.

I've been using it to chill rosé on hot afternoons, and the way the mouth-blown glass catches the light on the dining table is genuinely beautiful. The integral handles are surprisingly comfortable for something formed while the glass was still soft, no sharp edges at all.

The hand-cut rim gives it a wobbly, uneven edge that looks like actual craftsmanship instead of a factory mold. Filled it with ice and a bottle for a birthday dinner and it held up fine, no cracks or clouding. The little glass handles are surprisingly sturdy too.
