Rare 19th century ironstone cheese mould or curd strainer. 
A fabulous addition any ironstone or kitchenalia collection. 
Alternatively stand it on the bath or by the sink to drop your sponge in. 
No nibbles or cracks. The glazing is crazed and it shows lovely signs of wear as would be expected. 
Measurements: 17 x 14 x 7cm high
