Retro Penguin Ice Bucket

*cover has areas where metal is bent so it doesn't sit perfectly on top
8" tall
The piece gets its name from the 8 embossed penguins along the sides of the bucket. This is beautiful piece of mid-20th-century industrial design!
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
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. The brochure recommended using two or three of the buckets at once at parties, each containing different foods.

Notes: cover has some bent metal so the top doesn't sit perfectly
