Holland Boone Polished Pewter Grapevine Wine Bottle Coaster, c. 1970
Viridian Eclection
The Piece
A polished pewter wine bottle coaster by Holland Boone, made in Mexico, featuring a raised grapevine and fruit motif around the rim with a warm cork-lined center. Designed to hold a wine bottle at the table, bar cart, or serving station, this piece adds a little polished hosting energy without requiring anyone to understand wine beyond “this one tastes expensive.”
The sculptural rim is decorated with dimensional grapes, leaves, and vinework, giving it a classic vineyard-inspired look. The cork base helps cushion the bottle while protecting the metal surface beneath.
Design & Construction
This coaster is made from lead-free polished pewter with a cork insert. The rim has a raised grape cluster pattern, while the underside retains the original Holland Boone label. The label identifies it as polished pewter, lead free, never tarnish, and made in Mexico.
Holland Boone pieces were often sold as decorative giftware and home entertaining accessories, especially in Southwest and resort-style markets such as Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Los Angeles, which are listed on the underside label. This piece has a clean, useful form and works well in barware styling, wine service, or as a small catchall dish.
History & Provenance
Holland Boone produced polished pewter home and entertaining pieces, many made in Mexico and sold through gift, decor, and tabletop channels. This wine coaster fits squarely into the late 20th to early 21st century decorative pewter category: practical, giftable, and meant for entertaining.
The grape motif is a classic wine-service design, commonly used on bottle coasters, serving trays, cheese boards, and vineyard-themed tabletop accessories. This is not an antique pewter piece, but it does have strong decorative value for wine lovers, hosts, and anyone building a layered bar cart moment.
Condition
Good pre-owned condition with visible light surface scratches, handling wear, and minor scuffing to the polished pewter surface. Cork insert is present and appears intact from the photos. Original underside sticker remains attached. No major dents or structural damage are visible.
