This vintage Pacific Rim grape wine cooler is a hand-painted ceramic piece from the Sonoma grape collection, designed to complement matching grape-themed serveware and decorative accents. The vessel features a softly cylindrical form with a gently flared rim, finished in a warm, creamy tan glaze that evokes classic Mediterranean pottery. Raised grape clusters in rich plum tones are paired with muted green leaves and flowing vine tendrils, all carefully hand-painted for depth and character.
Traditionally used as an evaporative wine cooler, this ceramic piece can be soaked in water and chilled to help keep a wine bottle cool through natural evaporation. Its proportions and sturdy construction also make it ideal as a utensil holder, countertop vase, or decorative storage vessel, offering versatility without sacrificing visual appeal. The interior is smoothly glazed in a light neutral finish, suitable for functional use.
Produced by Pacific Rim and marked as hand-painted, this piece reflects late-20th-century decorative ceramic craftsmanship inspired by vineyard and wine-country aesthetics. It pairs beautifully with the coordinating Sonoma grape cookie jar and related pieces, making it an excellent addition for collectors seeking cohesive, timeless kitchen and dining décor.
