Azalea Polished Aluminum Wine Cooler with Swirl Fluting

A wide, polished aluminum cooler with swirled fluting, for chilling wine or sparkling bottles at the table.

Azalea is a wide, round wine cooler in polished aluminum with diagonal fluting on the body and a smooth, reflective rim. It holds ice and one or two bottles of wine or sparkling wine and gives a dining table, bar or buffet a bright, metallic anchor.

The cooler is 12.5 inches across and 9.75 inches high, a good size for a dining table or sideboard. The polished finish reflects light and suits transitional, glam and traditional rooms.

Planning notes

Place it on a tray or mat to catch condensation, and fill with ice and a little water for even chilling. Keep it away from table edges, since it is heavy when full.

Pair it with glass and white linens for a clean table, or with brass and wood for warmth. It also works as a planter cover or a decorative bowl for flowers when not used for drinks. The reflective finish shows fingerprints, so keep a soft cloth nearby for quick polish. In a restaurant, keep a spare cooler for sparkling wine so guests can see two choices at the table. At home, place a folded napkin over the rim when serving to catch drips, and empty it right away after use to protect the polish.

Who this is not for

• Not for outdoor use: we recommend it for indoor rooms.
• Not for the dishwasher: hand wash only to protect the finish.

Care

Hand wash with mild soap, rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Skip scouring pads and bleach-based cleaners.
