Talk:Monteith

Wine-glass bowl
Unsupported entry removed from dab page, for future reference:


 * Monteith, a bowl used for the cooling of wine glasses. The rim has depressions in it that allow the leg of the wineglass to be caught by its base so that the bowl of the wine-glass dips into ice-water, the base staying dry. These bowls were often made out of precious metals, and being novelty pieces their rarity has afforded many of them great value as collectibles. The name of the bowl immortalizes its inventor.
