A charming vintage silver-plated miniature wine cooler by Viners of Sheffield, dating to 1975 and preserved with its original cylindrical presentation tube. Inspired by traditional Georgian wine coolers, the compact form features a classical pedestal base, a decorative rim and two lion-head handles with movable gold-tone rings.

Its original presentation tube adds further interest and makes it particularly appealing as a small vintage gift.
