Know before you buy
To get the best results, place the ceramic cooler in the refrigerator or freezer for about 30 minutes before use. Once chilled, the ceramic material will help maintain the temperature of your pre-chilled wine bottle while it sits on your table.
The cooler measures 7.5 inches in height and 4 inches in diameter. It is perfectly sized for most standard 750ml wine bottles, though wider champagne bottles may be a tight fit.
Yes, the cooler is dishwasher safe. However, because each piece is handmade in South Africa, we recommend hand-washing to better preserve the finish and unique charm of the ceramic over time.
Absolutely. Its elegant design and Mimosa Butter hue make it a versatile piece that can double as a decorative vase for fresh flowers or a stylish utensil holder for your kitchen counter.
Ceramic is a porous material, but it is glazed to provide a protective barrier. While it is much more stable than metal, you may notice minor condensation depending on the ambient humidity in your room.
