The tub that turns drinks service into a design moment.
When you're serving drinks to a crowd, this 320oz tub makes the difference between functional and *noticed*.
American Metalcraft built this for professional foodservice—caterers, upscale venues, catering teams—but the aesthetic works just as hard for a home entertaining moment.
What we looked at
- 01Capacity & Build 320 ounces, commercial-grade aluminum, hand-hammered
That's roughly 10 bottles of wine or 20 cans of beer on ice. The hammered texture isn't cosmetic—it's structural reinforcement that also catches light. Aluminum doesn't dent like stainless steel and won't rust if you hand-wash it right.
- 02Design & Handling Sturdy side handles, reflective gold finish
You're moving this thing—between kitchen and table, in and out of storage—so the handles matter. The gold hammered finish is intentional enough to leave out, informal enough that it works at brunches or black-tie events.
- 03Care & Longevity Hand-wash only; maintains brilliant gold finish and texture
This isn't a throw-in-the-dishwasher piece. Hand-washing takes 3 minutes and keeps the patina. Over 70 years of American Metalcraft means the engineering supports that finish.
