Maarten Baas Melting Collection Ice Bucket

La Maison Ruinart, the oldest established champagne house in the world, celebrated the 50th anniversary of its 1959 Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs in 2009 and decided to honor the occasion by commissioning a work of champagne-related art from Dutch artist Maarten Baas. The Melting Collection Ice Bucket is what resulted, a beautiful shining silver bucket and its lid dissolving helplessly into a puddle on the table. Only 50 will be produced, delivered in a felt-lined leather and wood presentation box complete with a 'made-for-display' water-filled Dom Ruinart bottle. $8,800

Champagne Candle and Ice Bucket

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Giving everyone their own bottle of champagne at a New Year's party, or any party, is a cute idea, but not necessarily a classy one if you're aiming for an elegant evening. A stylish substitute is to give everyone his or her own champagne bottle candle, perhaps tucked into a miniature ice bucket. These little bottles are $10 each and stand 7.75" high. Until you notice the small gold wick extending from the top, they look just like real, albeit small, bottles of bubbly. The WSS Champagne Bucket is $60. It stands 4" high and perfect for holding one of these champagne candles, although it could be used for other decorative displays or even for serving snacks at a party.

If you're interested in glassware that will really make a statement, the Black Cut Crystal Glassware collection from Williams-Sonoma Home might be the perfect thing. To make the pattern, black crystal is layered over clear crystal, then gently cut away to create the unique, oval-banded pattern. It makes a stunning presentation of liquors, though red wines and red cocktails look particularly elegant against the black. Each piece in the set is sold separately, but the collection includes white and red wineglasses, champagne flutes, martini glasses, aperitif glasses, highballs and double old-fashioneds. Prices: $30-$38 for glasses; $150 for decanter, ice bucket.
