Today we pay big money for “artisan” cheese. But it wasn’t long ago when most households made their own fresh cheese at home. Unfortunately, they are becoming harder to find, especially in larger sizes. These functional yet marvelous ceramic cheese strainers were used to drain the liquid from the cheese. Today they can be just as functional as a kitchen strainer for sponges or a fruit and berry bowl. If you’d just like to enjoy their simple beauty you can use one as candle holder and watch the light sparkle from the holes. I have one large new new stone one that is 8" x 4.5" I have two medium stone ones that are both 6” in diameter and 3.5” tall. Very good condition. I also have a footed one which is very rare (5.75" x 4.5") And a sweet and somewhat more rustic small brown one (3" x 2.5") Price is for ONE cheese strainer.
