The vintage Wine Caddy feature here, known as "Porto Vino", was produced by Ingrid and marketed by Crate & Barrel. What makes this exceptional (other than the design of course) is that this is a complete set, including its original ice pack insert and two clear acrylic white wine glasses.
While the smaller, two-bottle iteration of this iconic design is held in the Museum of Modern Art's (MoMA) permanent design collection, this is the more adaptable three-bottle version. Its intelligent design allows for a variety of configurations: effortlessly transport either three standard wine bottles or a single bottle alongside the two accompanying glasses, all kept perfectly chilled by the dedicated ice pack.
Crafted by Ingrid Ltd. of Chicago, a company celebrated for its forward-thinking plastic housewares of the 1970s and 80s, the "Porto Vino" caddy embodies the era's sleek, functional modernism. In white, its minimalist form makes for an elegant presentation no matter the context.
This set is in very good vintage condition, with the ice pack and glasses appearing virtually unused, suggesting it was more a display piece than a frequently utilized item. There is some light, expected wear to the exterior consistent with age, which only adds to its vintage charm and authenticity. A rare find in such a complete state, this "Porto Vino" caddy is a must-have for collectors of vintage design, Mid-Century Modern enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a functional and stylish piece with significant design provenance.
