Abstract
A portable and self-contained ice bucket combination having a compartmentalized portion for chilling condiments and the like. The ice bucket includes an insulated vessel or base portion for defining a chamber within which cooling a media, such as ice may be stored. The vessel is open ended at the top and includes a complementary support structure for placement and support of a compartmentalized condiment tray thereon in communication with the cooling media while serving as a cover or closure for the vessel. The compartmentalized tray defines a plurality of compartments within which condiments and the like may be placed for chilling and serving. In addition, the tray includes a second compartment serving the dual purposes of containing similar articles and functioning as a handle for removing the tray from the top of the vessel. An annular cover plate is included for placement over the condiment tray for storage or transporting from one location to another.
