Product Description: Elevate your evening with this titling ice bucket, beautifully cut from full-lead crystal. The striking angle defies convention and lends the occasion a whimsical cheer.
Amazon.com Review: When life becomes too serious, bring out the Tilt collection. Each tumbler, glass, or decanter leans playfully, some might say perilously, sideways; but gravity is no match for the thick, very heavy bases that keep these works of art upright. The seven-inch-tall Tilt ice bucket, crafted by skilled European artisans of full-lead crystal, is quite elegant despite its playful quality; the dramatically slanted base flows seamlessly into the large rounded bowl, which rises to a level rim. The pair of pointed stainless-steel tongs features teeth for grabbing ice cubes of any size or shape, and the set makes a handsome addition to a party with Tilt cocktail tumblers and stemware. All Tilt items are boxed for giving, and are best washed by hand to preserve their fine brilliance.
Nambé was founded in 1951 in a village of the same name in scenic northern New Mexico. From the beginning, the company focused on hand-producing high-quality, functional items such as sand-cast metal bowls and trays with great attention to timeless, modern design. Porcelain tableware also now joins Nambé crystal and metal lines, all of which make exceptional gifts for the most special of occasions. Nambé ware has won numerous design awards, has been shown in or recognized by nearly two dozen museums worldwide, and is part of the permanent collections of many, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York. --Ann Bieri
