A Nice Antique Georgian Pocket Nutmeg Grater Designed for the refined traveller or dinner guest of the late 1700s and early 1800s, this compact tin container features a hinged lid and an internal rasp - ideal for grating fresh nutmeg directly into drinks or dishes. This nutmeg grater is made from tin - circa 1800.
* Small enough to fit in a waistcoat or reticule, in keeping with Georgian customs and hospitality. A quintessential accessory of the era’s social drink culture, particularly in relation to punch bowls and hot toddies.
