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 a faded makers mark, which looks like the "cross and pellets" which you often find on these early cooking utensils and I particularly like the size of this small slice, being only 13.80 ins (35.1cms) in length....one of the smallest I have bought....it is in very good condition with an attractive mellow colour to the brass and is cast in one piece and has no damage, just natural signs of its great age.

the slice has a faded makers mark, which looks like the "cross and pellets" which you often find on these early cooking utensils and I particularly like the size of this small slice, being only 13.

Seventeenth-century brass kitchen utensils, often found in manor houses, were cast or hammered by hand and used for food preparation in large hearth kitchens before the advent of modern cookware.

These items were typically cast from yellow brass alloy, often featuring hand-pierced or drilled drainage holes and elongated handles designed for open-hearth cooking.

Authentic period pieces exhibit characteristic hand-finishing marks, natural oxidisation, heavy metal casting weights, and wear patterns consistent with manual use.

Such pieces are frequently mounted on walls, displayed on open shelving, or placed on rustic surfaces to introduce texture, history, and authentic character to contemporary kitchens.

Preserve antique brass by keeping it in a dry environment, avoiding harsh chemical polishing agents, and applying a light coat of microcrystalline wax to protect the natural surface patination.
