A Burning Designer

Cool Penguin Cooler

This old ice bucket has an elegant art deco design.
The simple chrome ball shape is ringed with embossed penguins who seem to be in one of their migratory formations, following each other and trudging around the cold polar cap.  A walnut finial ball knob is planted at the north pole. There are walnut handles on the sides that are stepped.  The only awkwardness is that you sort of need three hands to serve someone a cube, unless you set it down first.  No matter though, the design is classic and beautiful... and it has been chilling scotches at the bar for many decades.
Just sharing...
