The kind of vessel that makes a bar cart look like a party.
This vintage brass champagne bucket takes the classic urn form, with a wide flared rim, a fluted lower body, two scrolled handles, and a ribbed pedestal base that lifts the whole piece into something sculptural. The brass has a warm, mellow glow, the sort of patina that looks right at home beside crystal, silver, and candlelight.
The silhouette is a descendant of the campana urn, a bell-shaped form borrowed from classical antiquity.Campana-form vessels, with their flared rims and ribbed bodies, were a staple of Regency-era wine coolers, and the shape has remained a favorite ever since. Wine coolers in this style once held pride of place on the dining room sideboards of grand houses, and in the mid-20th century the look was revived by Hollywood Regency decorators, who loved its neoclassical glamour and its gleam of metal. A footed brass urn like this one carries that same sense of occasion, whether it is holding ice and a bottle of champagne or standing on its own as a sculptural accent.
Beyond the bar, it works beautifully as a planter or cachepot for a large plant, a vase for branches or fresh blooms, a holder for umbrellas, wine bottles, or throw blankets, or a decorative accent on a console or mantel.
Tucked inside every order, a little something for first time Tavola customers — a hand-finished vintage passport notebook. Note the piece, the moment, the person you gave it to. One day these pieces will sit in someone else's hands — and they'll know it came from yours.
