Vintage Meat strainer/drainer...
Vintage Meat strainer/drainer, Staffordshire Mezzanine aka Meat Strainer/DrainerFrom the early 19th century, most dinner sets included a drainer, or mezannine as they are often called, which was flat and had a hole in the center, with smaller holes all around it. This drainer would fit inside a large serving dish and would have been used when serving meat, particularly fish, to drain the juices. This particular blue and white example has no markings on the back and 2 old chips. It is also stained, but nevertheless a collectable item. £, Worthing, .
