Vintage Blue Granite Enamel Strainer

A note from Geoff on Tuesday 2nd January 2006
"During our frequent trips to antique and secondhand shops,
Sharon has been on the lookout for one of these to replace a couple of plastic ones that we have
We have seen a few, but they have been the "plain metal" type
This strainer looks great, and hopefully the small chip isn't too bad"
