Know before you buy
Historically, hand coolers were polished stones or glass objects held in the palm to cool the skin during social gatherings. While this piece retains that ergonomic shape, it is primarily intended as a decorative crystal figurine for display.
To maintain the brilliance of the crystal, gently wipe it with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can dull the surface or leave residue on the intricate sculpting.
The figurine does not include a base, but it is specifically designed to pair well with a 3.5-inch round black granite base, which provides a stable and elegant foundation for the clear crystal.
While Steuben crystal is high-quality and durable, it is still a glass product. It should be handled with care and placed on a stable surface to prevent accidental drops or scratches from harder materials.
Because of the high-quality clear crystal and the specific sculpting by Lloyd Atkins, this piece is designed to catch and refract light effectively. It will appear most vibrant when placed in a spot with direct or ambient light, such as near a window or under a display lamp.
