Vintage Basket Strainer with Wood Handle | Wire Mesh Strainer | 8"

This vintage wire mesh basket strainer features a round fine‑mesh basket paired with a wooden handle that shows remnants of its original red paint with a white stripe. The worn paint and aged patina give this piece wonderful rustic character and visual appeal.  The metal basket is supported by side hooks designed to rest on the rim of a pot, bowl, or mug, making it useful for straining tea leaves, small foods, or rinsing.

The combination of aged wood, metal mesh, and honest wear makes this strainer a great accent for farmhouse, rustic, cottage, or vintage kitchen displays.  📏 Size Approximate measurements: Basket: 3 inches wide × 2 inches deep Overall length: 8 inches  🕰 Estimated Age Mid‑20th century  ✨ Condition Good vintage condition.
