Cutlery strainer w/ dark brown glaze 8"

This rare, tall strainer pot dates from the late-nineteenth century. While it is similar to cheese strainers or 'faisselle' this was more likely used for cutlery after washing to let it sit upright to drain off. The timeworn dark chocolate glaze is superb and it is perforated on the sides and underneath, sitting on a little integrated ring foot.
