SLOW DÉCOR FOR AN INTENTIONAL LIFESTYLE.
These berry strainers are a perfect example of French design, blending beautiful craftsmanship with everyday practicality. With simple form, soft glaze, and delicate drainage holes, it’s the kind of piece that feels just as at home in a modern kitchen as it did in a rustic French farmhouse.
A Strainer with a Story
In 19th- and early 20th-century French kitchens, strainers like this were essential for rinsing fresh-picked berries and letting them dry before serving. This one, with its graceful perforations and slightly flared rim, was designed for both function and beauty—keeping fruit fresh while looking effortlessly elegant on the table.
Likely crafted from French faïence or porcelain as well as earthenware, they have a classic creamy glaze and softly rounded shape that makes French kitchenware so timeless. Over the years, pieces like this have become harder to find, making it a true staple for collectors of vintage European ceramics.
Details & Condition
- Material: Glazed porcelain or faïence; earthenware
- Design: Classic round form with pierced drainage holes
- Condition: Excellent vintage condition with no chips or cracks. The glaze has a soft sheen, and the perforations are clean and intact, showing only the gentle signs of age that add to its charm.
A Timeless Kitchen Essential
This French berry strainer is as versatile as it is beautiful. Use it as originally intended to rinse and serve fresh berries, or re-purpose it as a unique serving bowl for nuts, fruit, or even rustic bread. When not in use, it makes a lovely display piece on open shelving, adding a touch of French country charm to any kitchen.
