Introduced into Britain in the early 18th century, it was filled with ice to chill the wine before serving. This wine cooler is known to be one of a set of four. Paintings and engravings of the 18th century show wine coolers placed on side tables within easy reach of  the diners. By the early 19th century, these individual wine coolers were beginning to be left on the table as part of the dressing of very grand dinners.<br><br><b>People</b><br>The wine cooler was ordered by Charles, 4th Earl of Tankerville, after his marriage to Emma Colebrooke in 1771. The arms of both form the central decoration of the salver. Tankerville was reported to be  'a very haughty honourable man ... but very communicative and entertaining ... His only remaining passion is for clever men, of which description he considers himself as one, tho' certainly unjustly'. The wine cooler was made by the silversmith Charles Frederick Kandler (active 1735-1778), now believed to be a family member and successor to the Rococo silversmith Charles Kandler (active 1727-1750), who emigrated from Germany to London in the 1720s.<br><br><b>Design</b><br>This wine cooler in bucket form owes much to French style, in both shape and decoration, as a design now in the National Museum, Stockholm demonstrates.","physicalDescription":"","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Kandler, Charles","id":"A8566"},"association":{"text":"maker","id":"AAT251917"},"note":""},{"name":{"text":"Garrard, Robert (I)","id":"A9654"},"association":{"text":"maker","id":"AAT251917"},"note":"rim"},{"name":{"text":"Wakelin, John","id":"A9655"},"association":{"text":"maker","id":"AAT251917"},"note":"rim"}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[],"techniques":[],"materialsAndTechniques":"Silver gilt, with chased, cast and engraved decoration","categories":[],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"MET","id":"THES48599"},"images":["2006AM7846"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"118E (VA)","id":"THES49228"},"free":"","case":"CA8","shelf":"","box":"36"}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Wine cooler","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"London","id":"x28980"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1775-1796","earliest":"1775-01-01","latest":"1796-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given in memory of Alexander Allan Paton CB (1873-1934), by his sister, Mary Paton","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"18.75","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"22.1","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Depth","value":"19.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"Engraved with the arms of Charles, 4th Earl of Tankerville (1767-1822) impaling those of his wife, Emma Colebrooke","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":""},{"content":"Hallmarked for 1795-1796","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"Rim","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"Rim"},{"content":"Hallmarked for 1775 - 1776","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"Main body","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"Main body"}],"objectHistory":"Made in London by Charles Frederick Kandler (born about 1695, died in London, 1778); the rim by J.
