The bucket features a tall, tapering cylindrical form with a polished silver-plated surface that reflects light beautifully. Two finely sculpted lion head handles, each holding a robust ring, lend a strong neoclassical character while demonstrating high-quality metalworking. The rim is finished with a classic beaded border, adding a subtle yet sophisticated decorative detail.

Manufactured in Lyon, France, a historic center of fine craftsmanship, this piece bears the maker’s mark “Roux Marquiand Lyon” along with the silver-plated designation, confirming its origin and authenticity. The craftsmanship reflects the standards of French luxury tableware intended for prestigious households and professional hospitality settings.

Condition is good overall for its age, with visible surface wear and several small dents consistent with use over time, which contribute to its authentic vintage character.
