A long, shallow wooden box with a rope handle at each end and no lid. The wood is fired, meaning the surface is scorched to a dark char rather than stained or painted, so the grain still shows through. One size.

It presents a bottle of wine or champagne on its side, packed round with tissue or straw, the usual way of giving one as a gift. Afterwards it works on a kitchen table as a cutlery caddy or a line of small herb pots. Anything damp goes into a pot first, since the box is bare wood inside.

• 35 x 12 x 11 cm, 500 g
• Solid wood with a fired, charred finish
• Rope handle at each end
• 12 cm internal width, enough for a champagne bottle
• Open topped, with no lid
• Used to present a bottle as a gift, then as a table caddy for cutlery, condiments, or a row of small herb pots

Please be aware, colours may vary slightly as our products are made from natural materials.

FAQs

Will a champagne bottle stand upright in it?

No. At 11 cm high the box holds the bottle lying down, which is how it is meant to be presented. A standard 750 ml bottle is roughly 30 cm long and fits inside the 35 cm length.

Does the charred finish come off on hands?

It should not. Firing scorches the surface of the wood rather than adding a coating. If you are giving it as a gift, wipe it over with a dry cloth first.

Can I really put a plant in it?

Only a potted one. There is no liner in this box, so compost and water would go straight into the wood. A row of three small herb pots sits along the 35 cm length.

How does it compare with your other wine boxes?

This is the open topped one. We also sell a single bottle box with a clear acrylic sliding lid and one with a wooden front, both of which enclose the bottle instead of displaying it.
