Lacy Tool and Grater

$175

Antique kitchen and carpentry tools are interesting in their use of materials, their functions and their shapes, sizes, colours and designs. The “Lacy Tool” www.blog.housewares.org/2011/10/25/housewares-history-dishpan/ is a pot scrubber that was strong enough to use on cast iron cooking pans with salt or sand as an abrasive cleanser. It really is quite beautiful for something as utilitarian as cleaning a pot! I matched it with the small grater because the grater holes seemed reminiscent of the larger holes of the scrubber, and the metal colour is similar, 11 ¾”x 15”.
