This mid-century traditional wine cooler is a silver-plated bucket manufactured by Viners Ltd in England around 1950. The piece presents a metallic silver finish across a tapered cylindrical body adorned with horizontal reeded bands and a scalloped rim. Decorative elements include embossed grapevine relief detailing along the top edge and cast lion mask mounts fitted with small drop ring handles on the sides. Dark areas visible on the metallic surfaces are reflections and shadows. The object measures 16.5 cm high, 14 cm wide, and 14 cm deep. In a contemporary home, this vessel functions as a table-top wine bucket or champagne cooler during dining occasions. It sits suitably atop a sideboard, dining table, or drinks cabinet when entertaining guests. The item serves to hold ice and chill bottles while adding a classic metal accent to barware collections.

FAQs

During the mid-twentieth century, formal entertaining at home became increasingly popular, leading manufacturers to produce decorative silver-plated barware that mimicked classical Georgian and Victorian motifs, such as grapevines and lion mask handles.

These vessels were generally electroplated, a process where a thin layer of fine silver is deposited onto a base metal core such as nickel silver, brass, or copper using electric current.

Authentic pieces often feature stamped makers marks, hallmarks, or initials near the base or rim, alongside indicators like EPNS for Electroplated Nickel Silver, and exhibit natural age-related tarnishing or minor wear to the plated surface.

A silver-plated wine cooler can be displayed on a sideboard, bar cart, or as a dining table centrepiece, functioning either for beverage service or repurposing as a decorative vase for floral arrangements.

Silver plate should be cleaned gently with a soft cloth and non-abrasive silver polish to prevent removing the thin silver layer, followed by thorough drying to prevent oxidisation and water spotting.
