About the Item
Add a piece of history to your home with this stunning antique wooden trunk, dating from approximately 1880-1890.

19th Century Glazed Terracotta Cheese Strainer circa 1800
Located in LA CIOTAT, FR
This rare early 19th-century cheese strainer is a beautiful example of traditional French rural pottery. Handcrafted in terracotta, it features a rich honey-brown glaze on the interior and rim, contrasting with the natural, unglazed base on the outside. The piece is instantly recognizable by its unique form: a wide, shallow basin with a raised central platform, designed to separate whey from curd during the cheese-making process. The slight lip on the rim and the central pedestal are both functional and decorative, reflecting the artisanal know-how of the period.
