Antique Silver

 

 

Item: Lemon Strainer Description: Reeded rim with handle and hanging hook Hallmark: Edinburgh 1808 by Robert Gray & Sons Dimensions: 98mm diameter (excl. handle); 91 g weight

Comments: A lovely quality Scottish strainer with an attractive pierced flower design to the bowl. The quality output from the firm of Robert Gray and Sons has earned them the title of "Paul Storr of the North", this lemon strainer is equal to that testament. The condition is excellent and the hallmarks clear.

These strainers were intended for use with punch and so were ideal for preventing the pips of oranges and lemons from dropping in to the drink. The hook meant that it could be hung from the side of the bowl. Nowadays, also ideal for cocktails, pancakes or even for baking. 

Ref.: OF/6971 Price: SOLD
