Description

This vintage Courvoisier advertising ice bucket is a molded plastic promotional piece designed in the form of an oversized Courvoisier cognac bottle. It is a novelty barware item intended for display and light use rather than for storing or serving alcohol. The exterior label features classic Courvoisier branding, including the phrase “The Brandy of Napoleon,” and closely mimics period bottle graphics used for Courvoisier Fine Champagne cognac. The piece separates into two sections, with the upper “neck” portion functioning as a removable lid.

The ice bucket is constructed of heavy molded plastic and was produced as a point-of-sale or hospitality promotional item for Courvoisier. This type of advertising barware was commonly distributed to bars, lounges, and liquor retailers to reinforce brand recognition. The interior is sized for holding ice, making it functional for cocktail service while primarily serving a visual and marketing purpose behind a bar or in a home bar setting.

Based on design, materials, and comparable examples, this ice bucket likely dates from the 1950s through the 1970s. Some versions from this period reference royal warrants or overseas manufacturing typical of mid-century promotional plastics. The dimensions, approximately 12 1/4 inches in diameter and 27 1/2 inches tall, place it firmly in the large display category, significantly larger than standard retail bottles and consistent with mid-century liquor advertising pieces intended to attract attention.
