Silver Champagne Buckets

I love the look of Champagne buckets. I think they make a beautiful addition to anyone's decor. I have seen a lot of inspiration on pinterest; they can be very versatile. While the most obvious use is.. well, a champagne bucket, they also make beautiful vases, planters, and display pieces.

This photo from Traditional Home first sparked my interest in them:

I have since picked up a few of my own. When I first saw them in an a photo I wasn't sure what to call it - I searched silver trophies, silver urns, until I realized it was just a fancy champagne bucket. 

My husband got me a beautiful brand new one over the holidays last year from Godinger. I keep it on my bar cart with a contrasting gold champagne bottle in it:

Just today I found a very tarnished one at an Estate Sale. I brought this baby home and polished it up. It's more ornate than my first one. I also love the removable top handle. 

I guess you could say I love the urn/champagne bucket look. I even have a clear vase that resemble them:

I am not sure where my new bucket is going to go, or what I am going to fill it with, but I'm excited to add it to my collection.
