Comments

The blown glass wine glass rinser or wine glass cooler is cylindrical in form with an outward taper.  The rim has two spout-like formations on opposite sides, created by tooling the glass when it was still hot and pliable from the furnace.  They allow the user to put his wine glass in chilled water and rest its stem and foot (or base) in the indentations.  The outside bottom has a polished pontil mark in the center.
