Ice Bucket Wine Design in Polished Copper or Green 20 cm - Gennarino

Design ice bucket for wine in polished hammered copper or pompean green, made in Italy.

The ice bucket represents a unique piece , as each object is the result of an artisanal processing of copper that is hammered by hand according to the Italian tradition , made for centuries with the utmost attention to detail and unchanged expertise by the coppersmiths.

In full respect of Italian tradition and quality , the entirely manual production is the result of a strong synthesis between passion and art that gives life to a unique and precious object.
Of exceptional quality and refinement, each object and each of its details are the result of careful processing carried out strictly by hand by master coppersmiths.
The copper cookware for culinary use, in fact, is entirely modeled by hand through   beating on specific iron poles with wooden mallets and special hammers for small productions, or with the lathe for larger ones.
This processing technique gives the copper an aesthetically embellished appearance, but above all makes it more resistant to wear , for a molecular hardening effect.
Finally, cleaning and polishing are performed manually with biodegradable products, and finally polishing by brushing until a total brilliance is obtained.
Where necessary, the handles are fixed with rivets, to ensure a strong and lasting grip.
All these features make it an indispensable tool in particular for all those interested in haute cuisine.

The choice of materials is the first important starting point: a diligent selection is made to choose only materials of excellent quality.
So the copper used is pure copper, with the right physical qualities for perfect modeling. The brass for the handles comes from individual first choice ingots for artisanal casting, in compliance with the regulations.

The material:
Copper was the first metal to be worked by man. It is a practically indestructible noble metal with a high ecological value. This is why owning a copper kitchen utensil can mean owning a part of human history, which brings joy and charm in the preparation of meals and in the presentation of dishes.
Copper is suitable for long and accurate cooking due to its thermal conductivity which allows the heat to spread evenly over the entire pot and lid so that, once the desired temperature is reached, energy savings are obtained as it requires little heat.
