This lovely wine cooler and pair of matching cups was made by Walter Schmidt of Hickory Tree Studio. Each piece is handcrafted of indigenous Indiana stoneware clay fired in a gas kiln to about 2200 degrees F. A cool bottle of wine and the wet interior walls of the cooler will keep your wine at a proper temperature by evaporative cooling throughout dinner. All ware is oven, dishwasher and microwave safe. This set would make a wonderful housewarming or wedding gift!
