Tom Knowles Jackson Stoneware Wine Cooler, Ash

An elegant wine cooler with a handsomely faceted form, glazed in ash to the exterior and rim. Pre-refrigerate and fill with ice and cold water to keep wine chilled for longer. Two small handles at the side allow easy transport from the kitchen to the dining area, or wherever else your bottle takes you. Wheel-thrown in the Cotswolds village of St Chloe by Tom Knowles Jackson. A potter from a young age, Knowles Jackson returned to ceramics following careers in the army and business, and now creates his own standard range of high fired stoneware. Using a small range of glazes derived from iron, copper and wood ash, Knowles Jackson fires his pieces in a self-built down-draught wood fired kiln. Measures 21cm in height with a diameter of 11cm, though due to the hand-thrown nature of Tom’s work, this may vary by a centimetre or so.
