Champagne Bucket Riva Ritratto in 18/10 Stainless Steel, 6L

Ritratto champagne bucket in 18/10 stainless steel

The Riva Ritratto champagne bucket is designed to keep the bottle cold with ice and water around it, on display at the bar or sideboard. The 6-liter capacity supports continuous service, and the tall body keeps the bottle upright. The mirror polish enhances the material and reflects ambient light.

The cylindrical design is clean and functional. Opposing cutouts on the rim improve grip when carrying the set to the table. The flat base stays stable when full, and the even wall helps distribute the chill along the sides of the bottle.

Made of 18/10 stainless steel — an alloy with 18% chromium and 10% nickel — the piece offers high corrosion resistance and a lasting shine. It is a preferred material for beverage service because it does not transfer taste, resists occasional acidity, and handles intensive use.

The polished, mirror-like finish creates a crisp reflection and makes daily cleaning easier. The rim receives cutouts that lighten handling when the bucket is full. Smooth interior and exterior surfaces avoid buildup points and help with drainage at the end of service.

• Material: 18/10 stainless steel.
• Finish: mirror polished.
• Line: Ritratto (Riva).

The 6-liter capacity lets you set up proper cooling: ice cubes combined with water, which fills the gaps and speeds up heat exchange. The mix covers the bottle to the shoulder, keeping the drink in the ideal range during service.

• Capacity: 6 L.
• Dimensions: Ø25.5 cm x 21 cm (diameter x height).

At 21 cm tall, the piece fits standard sideboards and bar carts. The 25.5 cm diameter provides volume for ice and water around the bottle without spilling during handling.

To set up, add part of the ice, place the bottle upright, then top up with more ice and cold water until it covers the shoulder. Replenish ice during the event as needed. Avoid sudden temperature shocks between storage and setup.

• Works on the bar, sideboard, or bar cart, next to the flutes.
• Pairs with Riva 18/10 stainless trays and serving utensils.
• Use with ice tongs and a dedicated ice bucket when mixing drinks.
• After use, discard water and ice, wash, and dry to store without marks.

The neutral Ritratto design pairs well with clear glassware and colored glass pieces, and it complements wood and stone on the bar furniture.

What is the role of water along with the ice?

Water fills the spaces between the cubes and increases the contact area with the bottle, speeding up heat transfer. Result: a colder drink for longer with the same amount of ice.

What is the size of the piece?

Diameter of 25.5 cm and height of 21 cm. These measurements hold the bottle upright with enough volume for ice and water around it, maintaining stability on the surface.

How do I clean and preserve the shine of 18/10 stainless steel?

Wash with a soft sponge and mild detergent, rinse well, and dry right away with a lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasives and steel wool to preserve the mirror polish.

Is it only for sparkling wine?

It is designed for sparkling wines, but it also works for white and rosé wines in bottles, using the same ice-and-water setup.

Can I use it in a covered outdoor area?

Yes. Use normally and, after the event, wash and dry the piece before storing, especially in coastal regions, to maintain the finish.
