Expert Needed identify this china - Anyone

[Keyser]

Here is an off the wall random question for anyone who may know what on earth is this, and what is it for?

 

 

 

 

I have half a dozen from my late mothers china collection but have no idea what they are - I was OK with the teapots and plates, I can even spot a tureen but what the !"£$% are these?????

It's a brake drum off a mk1 cortina

 

 

Now this is a random topic !

For putting your teabags into when you take them out of the cup is my guess.

 

Got something similar at home ~ you just put the teabags in the food bin then when all the teas drained off & they're dry.

I like the idea, I may use it for that but this was around before Tea bags - earliest piece in the collection is a tea cup from 1870

That sounds right ! Did you use the search, sure this has come up before

 

Thing is ... That looks older than the invention of the tea bag ?

 

Maybe for draining veg ? Cabbage etc ?

Doh.

 

Guess that's not what it was originally intended for then (think GIXXERUK has nailed it ) but at least you could get some use out of it that way.
