Vintage Leonard Silver Copper and Silverplate Ice Bucket with Jaguar Head Handles and Milk Glass Liner

This impressive vintage lidded ice bucket, created by the renowned Leonard Silver Manufacturing Company, is a standout piece of American barware from the late 20th century. Marrying the warm luster of copper with finely detailed silver-plated accents, this bucket offers a perfect blend of classic style and practical function. More than a simple bar accessory, this piece represents Leonard Silver's legacy of producing high-quality, traditionally styled hollowware for the modern home. The "E.P." mark confirms the electroplated silver, a testament to the manufacturing techniques of the period. The commanding jaguar head handles and the luxurious combination of copper and silverplate make this an exceptionally well-designed piece. Its uncommon construction—featuring a durable copper exterior and a substantial insulating milk glass liner—sets it apart from more typical all-metal ice buckets of the era.

Whether placed on a bar cart, used as a centerpiece for a special occasion, or simply displayed as a planter or decorative accent, this Leonard Silver ice bucket is a unique and collectible item. It offers a touch of classic sophistication and a testament to quality craftsmanship that will enhance any space.

Details:
Stamped on the base with "LEONARD E.P." along with the company's hallmarks (crown, shield, and lion).
Circa 1970s. Copper body and lid, electroplated (E.P.) silver handles and finial, and a removable white milk glass liner. The bucket's polished copper exterior features a beautiful, aged patina. It is accented by ornate silver-plated handles shaped like a majestic jaguar's head holding a brass ring in its mouth. The matching lid is topped with an elegant, silver-plated finial. The thick, removable milk glass liner is a key feature, providing excellent insulation to keep ice frozen or a bottle of champagne perfectly chilled. This construction also prevents condensation from forming on the outside.

Condition:
In good vintage condition. The copper has developed a lovely, natural patina, and the silver-plated elements show some signs of age, all of which contribute to its authentic vintage character. The milk glass liner is in excellent, intact condition.
