A lovely vintage circa 1950s English silver plated ice bucket, from a British & Commonwealth ocean liner! The British & Commonwealth Shipping Company (B&C) was a major British shipping and financial conglomerate formed in 1955 through the merger of the Clan Line Steamers and the Union-Castle Line. In excellent condition, no big dents or damage, just a couple small bumps and some small signs of use and wear. It has polished up beautifully with no plate loss on the outside, some loss to the interior. Marked on the front with the B&C insignia, made by Mappin & Webb. The bucket measures approximately 5" tall not including handle, 8” tall with the handle up.
