Description

A very nice quality late 17thc brass cooking slice from the manor / farmhouse kitchen, where it would have been used to remove fish / meat from the cooking pot, straining the water away as it is lifted onto a plate......the slice has the faded makers mark, which looks like the "cross and pellets" which you often find on these early cooking utensils and I particularly like the file marks clearly seen on each side of the handle left by the maker... it is in very good condition with an attractive mellow colour to the brass, that comes with age ....the slice is cast in one piece...no damage, just natural signs of its great age.

English. C1670-90.

Seventeenth-century brass utensils were commonly crafted for affluent households and manor kitchens, utilized for food preparation and serving before the widespread adoption of modern plated metals.

These items were typically cast or hand-beaten from copper-zinc brass alloys, featuring hand-punched perforations and forged handles with hanging loops.

Authentic pieces often exhibit characteristic hand-finishing marks, natural patination, subtle surface irregularities from early casting methods, and wear consistent with age.

They can be mounted on walls, displayed within open shelving units, or placed on mantelpieces to introduce historical texture and metallic warmth to contemporary spaces.

Preserve the historical surface by keeping the object dry, avoiding harsh chemical abrasive polishes, and dusting gently with a soft cloth to retain the natural oxidisation.
