Sizing guide

Few designs capture the playful sophistication of mid-century entertaining as well as the West Bend Penguin Hot and Cold Server. Produced in Wisconsin from the late 1940s through the 1960s, this chrome-plated ice bucket and food server quickly became a household essential. Its round body, embossed with marching penguins, is a delightful example of postwar optimism and modern American design.

The polished chrome surface gleams with a timeless appeal, while the black Bakelite side handles and matching lid knob provide both functionality and a classic Art Deco-inspired touch. Whether filled with ice, cocktails, or party snacks, the server was designed to keep contents hot or cold, making it a versatile and charming centerpiece for the modern host.

At 8 inches tall and 9.5 inches wide (including handles), this piece strikes the perfect balance of whimsy and utility. Today, it remains one of the most collectible American barware and serveware designs, beloved by vintage enthusiasts and decorators alike.
