AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A 'nut', once brought in the 1950s by French friends. The bottom was flattened and the nut was cut through to make an ice bucket that, by the way, works fantastically and creates an exotic atmosphere and is a conversation piece at all your parties. Moreover, the nut was clad on the outside with three kinds of veneer wood and fitted with a sturdy cap with three leaves. There is a scoop included to lift out the ice cubes, all in the customized style.
