Calling it an ice bucket is misleading, because the item was intended to have a dual purpose. Its metal cavity can keep cold things cold or hot things hot. The actual name of the product is the Penguin Hot & Cold Server. A brochure that came with the item originally recommended using it to serve spaghetti, soup, stew, fried oysters and baked beans, among other things. But I’ve only ever used it for ice and I expect most people who own one do the same. (If you don’t want consumers to immediately think of ice cubes when they look at a container, don’t put penguins on it!)It’s made of chromium-plated steel and has a two-quart capacity. The server can keep things hot for 1-2 hours or cold for 5-6 hours owing to an insulated inner container that makes no contact with the outer metal shell.  Good Vintage Condition and does have some wear consistent with age. There is a little bit of wear on the inside of the lid. Please see detailed photos and feel free to reach out with any questions.  Measures about 12 inches from handle to handle and 10 inches high from base to top of lid.
