A heavy silver-plated wine bottle cooler that turns the Sunday roast into a small ceremony. Queen Anne style, with substantial cast handles.

Edzard, the German tableware house, makes it in the Queen Anne style with a hand-finished base. Fill it with ice for white wine or Champagne, and the silver catches the candlelight before the conversation starts.

For the wedding registry that wants one piece with real weight. For the friend who finally has the dining table. For a milestone anniversary, or New Year's Eve with the Champagne already in it.
