The Scalamandre zebra ice bucket is your pop of color for the bar or buffet. Just add a bottle of champagne or vodka! You may also use the container as a dramatic and colorful vase for that special floral arrangement. It's for the adventurer in us all. A little background history: Originally designed in the 1940s for the Gino of Capri restaurant, lovingly known as "Ginos" by New Yorkers, Scalamandre restored the Zebras wallcovering in the Upper East Side institution in the 1970s after it was destroyed in a fire. Flora Scalamandre, wife of Franco, freehanded the signature motif that would come to be known as the iconic Scalamandre zebras. The pattern is celebrated the world over in design and in the movies. It was featured in "The Royal Tenenbaums" and "Mighty Aphrodite."
