"Strainer: A Journey Through Time and Function" Step aboard the White Star Line's majestic ocean liners, where amidst the opulence and grandeur, assorted metal items like strainers served their purpose. From asparagus tongs to tea strainers, these humble tools were essential in ensuring a refined dining experience for passengers. Fast forward to the skies above, where the Cessna 180C ZK-BVW soared through the clouds. Even at high altitudes, strainers found their place in kitchens on board, filtering out impurities from meals enjoyed by adventurous travelers. Traveling back in time to Victorian England, a page of adverts from 1888 showcases an array of household items including kitchen utensils. Among them stands the trusty strainer - a reliable companion for every culinary endeavor. Intriguingly crafted by Yolande Delasser in 1936 and Isidore Danziger in 1941 respectively, two unique strainers capture our attention with their timeless beauty and functionality. These pieces stand as testaments to human creativity even during challenging times. Venturing into rural America during the Great Depression era reveals Dorothea Lange's lens capturing a porch leading to a sharecropper cabin's kitchen. In this modest setting, a simple yet indispensable strainer hangs nearby - symbolizing resilience amidst adversity. Across continents and cultures lies another intriguing piece - an ancient pottery strainer hailing from Amlash or Marlik in Iran's Gilan mountains. This artifact offers us glimpses into ancient civilizations' daily lives and their ingenious methods of separating solids from liquids. Closer to home is Robert Stewart's Pa. German Cheese Strainer from 1937; its design reflects both practicality and craftsmanship that have stood the test of time while enhancing cheese-making traditions passed down through generations. Lastly, we encounter Watson & Brown's exquisite Strainer Spoon dating back to 1836/38.
