Title: Blue Mountain Pottery (BMP) Wine Cooler
Post by: antiquerose123 on May 17, 2009, 05:58:55 AM

Hi, Just found this at a garage sale for $2.00, so I think that was a good deal.  It is BMP but only in red clay.  It is a wine cooler, see the mark.  Not sure of the age made, but I will update once I (or anyone) finds out more detail.

TIA

I love these wine coolers cos they work! I've one somewhere which is fairly recently made - my Mother bought me it a few years back, but not a BMP one obviously. ;)

We think of BMP in terms of glazed pieces not unglazed, but apparently they did unglazed items as well (coolers usually are unglazed anyhow as they work better.)

The BMP Collectors' Club website has a timeline of colours which is interesting and may help pin yours down Rose:
