L'Objet Ice Bucket Vanilla Cream Green Snail Shell Handles Wine Cooler Kahaki

Description

This listing includes a beautiful ice bucket by L'Objet. It is a vanilla, or cream, colored ceramic with shell handles. I believe the shells are made of porcelain but they are very realistic. These are "green snail" shells. I could only find one piece in this pattern online. It was a green bowl sold as "meridian" pattern with shell handles. This ice bucket tag has "Kahaki" on it, which implies Kahaki is the pattern. I can only speculate that Kahaki is the Meridian pattern with shells added.
I purchased three pieces of this pattern from a home where they were on display in an enclosed curio. They had not been used. I believe the owner said they came from Neiman-Marcus. Neiman-Marcus says this about L'Objet:
Elad Yifrach, a former interior designer, introduced L'Objet in 2004. With a collection that blends ancient techniques with a modern sensibility, L'Objet features beautiful dinnerware, table linens, serveware, and accessories that are carefully handmade by European and Asian master craftsmen. The L'Objet collection also includes accents for the home, including frames, candles, and desk accessories, many of which are crafted from 24-karat gold, platinum, and other fine materials.
The ice bucket measures 8" tall and 8 1/4" diameter at the rim. It is in mint condition.
Please feel free to email with any questions prior to bidding or buying. I try to give any information I have about the listings, and to tell you whether the information is fact or opinion. I have a "full refund option" (see returns below) policy for anything I misrepresent. My description will point out anything I find that could possibly be considered a flaw. For this reason, many past buyers felt that they received a better product than they expected.
DOMESTIC SHIPPING CHARGES: This item will ship via USPS. I use padded envelopes, peanuts, bubble wrap, and Styrofoam packaging as necessary. Free pick up in Williston, FL is an option.

I’m happy to combine multiple purchases, paid for at the same time, into one package to save on shipping.
